That is what is wonderful about metal, you can always weld it back. If anyone is looking to fill a container from Australia, I found fiberglass hoods down there....

Just make your own, it’s easy. I always use Chevy vulcanized leaf spring bushings.
Cheers
I found some too, but at $1,200 delivered I’m going to have to wait on that for a little Bit. Not sure the price just hopping on a container with someone is. I like that scoop you found

Still accumulating parts. Ordered a Tuffy 023. I will adapt or move the brake handle to make it fit well.
Also ordered spark plugs for the LS.

I’ve been eyeballing that same concept myself. Long ways away from making it happen still.

taillight question.... it has a weird fog light tail light - but only on one side. Importer said that is the law in Spain....
anyway, what options do I have for better looking lights on the sides. I expect it eventually I’ll build a customer bumper and I won’t want the lights there. So basically I’m looking to replace the side lights and have them be the stop turn.

Cruiser Outfitters can supply the "normal" tail lamps with red/orange/clear lenses.
Correct, there are a few European countries that are like that.
Double check the new lenses will fit. I seem to remember a post a few years back that showed the recesses the lenses fitted into were a different shape between various models, but that was probably after 1990

The bit I was saying is different is the size/shape of the metal on the fender. I wasn't sure if I made that clear. The blacked out lens are slightly larger on the 90- on models. Based on memory from a thread from 10 years ago.

starting to get parts for this rig... ARB lockers are the discussion today. @cjmoon is the gearing guru helping me.
So, does anyone know what arb lockers do I need here? from this thread:
forum.ih8mud.com
It looks like ARB RD132 should fit front and 2x RD152 should fit rear.
Does the limited slip change the ARB install?

Did you do this yet? I have the same lights, curious about moving the lights from the bumper up to the combo tail light.I assume I will need lenses and backs, so the entire light housing.

Did you already pick up ARB's? We can definitely match up the ones you need. If the limited slip is the factory Toyota unit, non-issue, the ARB will fully replace that carrier in the 3rd member.
That's a good price if they're genuine ARB air lockers. It sounds like you have a limited slip in the rear end. You could buy the ARB and swap it in the rear and then maybe put your limited slip in the front end and have a really nice combination.
I have lock right lockers front and rear, they allow the outside wheel to ratchet ahead when turning. I was recent ly offroad in slick mud with some Jeeps with lockers front and rear ARB, or e locker type. Their directional control on slick mud was noticeably worse than mine fully locked front end pushing/plowing and not turning. It's worth considering before you put a manual locker in the front end.
