Good morning all! Anyone know if a 1969/03 - 1980/07 hood for an FJ will fit on a 1981/10-1984/09 and if so, what are the differences? I have the ability to get one, but per the manuals the end of of the sub assembly part #s are different. Ex - 53301-90311(1980) versus 53301-90808 (1981).

3/69-7/80 had multiple changes. 9/71 started the one piece hood without the flange in the center it has better clearance in the middle. 9/71-1/75 the hood rests and hooks for the windshield were for the wipers on top windshield and rod to hold the hood up moved to left side and used the apron not the bib. 1/75-8/76 were made for wipers on the bottom of the windshield. 8/76 a flange was added to the center of the hood in the front to strengthen it. 9/71-9/72 shows different than the 9/92-1/75 hood. Not sure what changed be show different part number. I have both but not easy access to them to see what the difference is. While any can be made to work 1/75+ should work with no mods.
