Re: Grill Guard
What a bummer! I bought mine several years ago on Ebay for less than $200 shipped. I don't recall what year it was for. I don't think I was too concerned with the year knowing that none of the brackets would match up to my van. I was only concerned with the width and how well it would match up to my grill. I can try to look up which one I bought. I'll have to look through some very old emails!

Re: Grill Guard
Finally got my replacement guard. Spent most of a day and then some fabricating. Not a perfect fit, but at least now I have something to tie to when I need to pull out Land Cruisers!
- Finally made up some bumper brakets, integrated the guard connection (three 1/2" bolts)
- these are the included brackets. Cut them up to connect to top of bumper
- Lower attachment (two bolts behind facia

Re: Grill Guard
Maybe I'll make the light guards line up some day. Good for now. I've got my next project sitting in the shed... NP 242!
