What dont you understand? the genuine 70 series bonnet comes as a bonnet plus the insert for the scoop ( this is the trim for around the scoop hole) as 2 separate items . I moulded the complete bonnet then made a section out of that mould including the scoop. This was moulded into a 75 series bonnet & I made another mould off that. I also made a mould for the scoop trim or insert separately because it would never come out of a mould if it was moulded all in one
Send me an email sales@frp.com.au & I will send pics. Mick

not horn, it looks SHIT.
i would bash myself with a tyre iron before i bolt that monstrosity onto a 40 series.
its NEARLY as bad as the GT bonnet's they make for them.

but i digress, each to their own

[Z()LTAN]

haha thats ok not everyone sucks ass like you do

[GO79]

bj70 bonnet fits fine on my 75

Haha true true... best comment everr
one day people who have a v8 turbo 79 series ute or 78 troopy might realise that their "new 70 series " is still a 79 ute or 78 troopy or 76 wgn not a 70 series turbo v8 and that a 70 series landcruiser model is the short wheel base,

thanks for the comments fellas (good n bad) There is a lot of stories around about fibreglass,most of which arent true. As you can see by some of my photos ,I put my ute to good use on rough tracks & towing my caravan up the beach at Fraser . I have a couple of cracks in the passengers side door but that might have something to do with a tree falling on it one night .If it had been a steel one it would have been bent beyond repair . We can go around my ute & give all the panels a good kick & watch them bounce back ,then we can go around your steel ones & give them a good kick & watch them dint & stay dinted, they wont bounce back.The only rust in my ute is in the panels that are still steel.I give 100 year guarantee against rust in a fibreglass panel & they are all Transport Dept. approved for road use,(unlike some panels produced by blokes , these are legal)
Sports bonnets are not for everyone! I still sell more standard bonnets than sports bonnets but hey ,if we all had the same good taste then nobody would buy Pootrolls & if nobody ever made improvements to the standard vehicle then Landrover would not have wind up windows today. It is ok to drive a standard vehicle , most people do , its just I dont like mine looking like your average farm truck. Mick

[jessie928]

I highly rate your Fibreglass panels they are great! Just the scooped 40 series look That gets under my skin

zultan I bet you could suck a golf ball down a 18 metre garden hose

yeah Jessie , the Monaro style bonnet for the 40 series is a Bit Out There , as I say "not for every body". I was a bit tired of the old XB Falcon style, but was still getting enquiries for it occasionally so I thought I would do something a bit different. I did not make the XB one so I thought I would update my old Troopy with something that nobody else had. When the Monaro was released I thought that bonnet was real Horn Material but unfortunately the vehicle was released with only 1 diff & only 1 stick so it ruled out the possibility of heading up the beach with one of them. Any way I couldnt afford a Monaro cause i am only a pork hunt so I did the next best thing as far as I was concerned & built a bonnet like a Monaro.
As for the bj70 bonnet fitting a 75 series , i am not positive but i was under the impression it is shorter than the 75. Isnt that where they made the swb vehicle shorter (in the guards & bonnet). I know the mwb 73 & 74 are the same as the 75 but i think the bj70 is shorter. Does anyone have a measurement? Mick

[badger]

pork your thinking rj/lj70 series bundys. anything with leafs has a 75 series front end

[pork hunt]

Way too bloody confusing! So what are the differences apart from leaf spring & coil spring? Are they all swb (70 series)? Pardon my ignorance , I dont profess to be an expert on these little creatures. Mick

[badger]

the bundys run lux gear box, cruiser transfer, coil lux rear with offset pumpkin, high pinnion front on coils and a lux motor. but look like a cruiser
with a shorter front end

all the rest are the same gear as a 75 pretty much
