OK WTF with the bezel thing!!

[Strait Cruisin]

I randomly flip mine just so people have something to complain about.

 

[Chamba]

They should of just varied the hole pattern from top to bottom and none of this would have ever been an issue.

I guess the Japs never thought that anyone would be daft enough to put the thing upside down. Besides, it separates those with brains, beauty and brawn from those with...upside down bezels.

I personally like that it allows people to show off their ignorance. Of course, like many things: it is the owner's right to wear his bezel upside down... Some guys like to flip their bezels and in a similarly wacky and iconoclastic vein, some guys like to wear their wife's clothing. I don't hold it against them, but I do reserve the right to chuckle.

WTF! They should have made the bezel non removable, an integral part of the bib, to prevent people from bitcching and claiming superiority over those who chose to mount it differently.

Then there would be hundreds of "How do I remove this bezel so I can turn it right side up" threads

You would not be able to adjust the headlights then




Btw... Nobody is superior... We are all pretty stupid in our own ways LOL

Wait...




That was an attempt to make a funny... I don't know if it was or not

Somebody will have an opinion about that I guess... We are all opinionated in our own ways.

I don't think that was too funny... Now that I think about it... Sometimes we all make comments we wish we didn't make... Some make more than others

Heck with adjusting them, replacement would be a bi*ch!

I think this is all a ploy by Toyota to keep us talking about land cruisers....

I thought it was funny. As far as opinions go, remember the old saying " opinions are like a##holes, everyone has one and most of them stink"

Sample shirt I gave to @jacamp003 while he was at AF tech school this last January.

 

[Dodgrr]

weld 2 together so the top and bottom match, watch the world burn.

I can have those shirts made with anything in the bezel if provided the logo.

I have the appropriate font saved in my stuff somewhere...

 

[TLCRUISER73]

The thick part is orientated at the top, as the earlier bezels (pre-1964)were stamped LAND CRUISER on the thick part....

Where did you get this bezel? is it a pre 64? Do you know where to get one?

 

[Rigger]

Original stamped bezels are hard to find. I think you can get knockoffs but I’m not sure where.

 

[JackA]

The original stamp bezels are out there. I just picked one up a few weeks back.
There are also repops available. Not hard to find.

What everyone is saying is that the bezel has to be one way for cosmetic reasons. To me, cosmetics are just about meaningless on a 4x4. I say, it's your rig. Do what you want with it.

 

[JohnnyC]

It doesn’t have to be a certain way... it’s the way it supposed to be

People can F$&? Up their truck anyway they want ... it doesn’t make it correct... my truck is a perfect example of F-ed up

Bezel is correct however

at least bezel orientation is the one thing that a PO messes up that can be easily corrected

 

[TCEd]

If Toyota had made one of the mounting holes not symmetrical there would be no bezel police force.

 

[Rainman]

Hey. If someone is making decent Bezel Police shirts, I'll volunteer the bezel art. I have this in vector form if someone will take off with this. I'll even set the file up for the whole thing. After all, I am a professional.

What? You don’t like mine?
