does anyone know if these are different and if so how exactly?
also can anyone help me with pics of the front side panel trim on the LX and LC front bumpers?
i was trying to fit up an "early low profile" JDM front bumper (pics below) to my LX (pics below) but i couldn't figure out how to get the side panel attachment to bolt to the land cruiser.
as far as i can tell so far the early low profile bumper is shorter front to back so you need to remove this snout nosed adapter piece because there isn't room for it to fit on the early bumper (?), and the early bumper is thinner width wise (because there are no fender flares other early rigs i guess).
but i couldn't figure out how to get this JDM early bumper fit to the side of the LX.
so now i'm thinking to get a regular LX or 80 series bumper and i'm wending if there are differences between this me and if so what
thanks in advance for any intel on this.
pics below are of rhe bumper off eh rig and some pics of how the early JDM bumper is not attaching at the sides.

pics below are of that snout nosed piece i had to remove to fit the early JDM bumper and also some pics of the early JDM side panel hardware and some hat shaped piece that came off with my late LX bumper that got damaged so i am wondering where that goes exactly?
also you can see on the early JDM bumper where the vertical piece is flat and the late LX bumper piece here has a kind of compound angle to it.
