OEM Front Bumper Compatibility

[Trail Teq]

Hi all,

I have a 1992 HDJ80R at the moment.

I am wanting to fit an OEM front bumper to it, however I have come to realise that there are a few variants of the bumper.

The earlier bumpers which I believe are 89-94 are a bit thinner by the look of it, and have different shaped vents and ends.

The later model bumpers 95-98 seem to stick out more, rounder ends and have longer thinner vents.

There appears to be OEM winch bumper variants of each of these bumper styles.

The different bumpers apparently have different mounting brackets / bumper stays. Is this correct?

I am wanting to put the later model OEM bumper on my car, with an aftermarket winch mounted behind it. I intend to put an OEM winch cover over the top to hide it.

My question is, if I get the correct mounting brackets for the bumper, I imagine it should bolt up to my car no problems right?

Anyone out there done this?

For reference, here are some pics of the two bumpers.

I'm looking to do the opposite of you.
Put an early, narrower OEM bumper on my 1996.

There's definitely a difference between the bumpers, and the stays/brackets are different too.

For a later year OEM winch front bumper the stays should be RH: 5214160080 LH: 5214260070

For early model US FJ80L-GNPNEA models stays are RH: 5214160060 LH: 5214260050

For later model US FZJ80L-GNPEKA models stays are RH: 5214160070 LH: 5214260060

As of early 2021, these stays still available new, somewhere.

If I'm off, please for free to correct me, and I'll edit accordingly

Hopefully, you resolved your bumper situation, and holler at me, if you know of someone on Oahu with a fj80 front bumper
