[igotta40]

Anyone know where I can get a pair of these in the USA? Are they available from Toyota?

what holds them on? Seems like they just slide over the taillights.

Goes behind the tail lights on those type… the light housing holds them in compressed with the mounting screws afaik

Seems Ike a good way to lose a light housing.

On mine I used chain loop attached to tail light guards to hold them… works great for this style

That was sort of my plan, but 4Plus is clear on their website that the taillight guards are for 75+. I have a '74 and a 4Plus tire carrier (and a tweaked bumper). I'm not sure how all that would come together. (Except for the tweaked bumper, that will have to be shims!)

(I see CCOT lists them for a '74.)

If the tweaked bumper you are referring to is actually the rear frame cross-member, remove everything attached to it and take it to a frame shop to be straightened. Been there, done that and it wasn't that expensive to do. Only time of removing and replacing things.

Yeah, I should have said rear cross member. I forget about the bumperets.

It’s only 1/4” at the end. I’ll probably stick with a couple washers.
