Fj75
So its got the carb 3f and could be made from 85 to oct92( then they got the 1fz so they became fzj75)
All changable but there is 3 diff whites used through the years from 85 to 06
You can change they gaurds to late model ones up to 06 obviuosly
but depending on what year yours is 1990 they added side indicators in the guards so you will have a hole with no wire for the light or if you get a early guard you need to chop a hole in
the only differnce with the bonnets is the window squiter hole , 99 they changed but there only
$3 each to get later modle squirters to suit the later model holes
Front grills are all interchangeable from the 70,73 and 75 series 85-89 metal ones to the 90-93 plastic ones that say toyota to the 93-aug99 ones they have the T symbol to the 99-06 (78 and 79 series) can all swap and change
the 85-99 front indicators are smaller than the 99-06 if you but a 79 grill with 75 front indicators you get a gap so if you swap to later get both grill and front indicators,the plugs are diff from early to later they change in 99
but its just a extra earth wire you piggy back onto the other one if you have a 75 series with 79 front grill and front indicators

As for the brand newest of new cruiser no
the front chassis from your foot pedals foward is aproxx 100mm wider to the bull bar than the eearly 7x series

its an 88 model witht the 3f. was hoping to put the newer bonett on with the grille just to make it look tidier. it will see mosty touring with little stints of rock crawling, hence the reason i wanted it to look half decent. so just to make sure i have this right,
i can put a grille on up to 06
gurads up till 06
bonnett up till 06.
and windscreen surround.
correct?

yep all interchangable
So you have a 88
if you get later (91 ish onwards) guards they will have a little hole in the side for the side indicators
so you can patch the whole up cos legally ur cruiser didnt come with them so you dont need them or you can tee into your blinker wireing and t off some wire for the side lights
if you get a later bonnet you will have to buy new bonnet squwirters as the old ones are different size hole, no biggi
oct 99 up 78 troopy and 79 utes, chrome grills and blinkers look a treat in 75's the chrome ones are of the RV models (top of the range with carpet and elecs) but you can get aftermarket chome gear which is good

but the fold down windows stopped in aug99 with the 75 series ute then it changed over to the 79 series ute , the 79 has no fold down front window the 79 series ute also got troopy doors (round top front bit of the glass the 75s have a point
