I do remember a post about that in the past but have not been able to find it. I have someone that is willing to make it work but curious if end of day (cost / piece of mind), the $300 is the best option.IIRC, @Eric Sarjeant had posted something showing what needed to be done. IIRC, the old badge had studs that need to be removed and it also needs to be bent slightly to conform to the shape of the body panel. Probably a bit tricky to get a nice looking result, but it was a lot less expensive.
Regarding styling, I just think the badge is super cool and if someone calls me out, it's probably another Land Cruiser enthusiast so we'd end up being friends anyway haha.
Never hurts to have someone else to hit the trails with
