Time for some history... Enjoy!
That hood is hideous! CCOT was trying to acquire a stamping assembly for the late model single piece hood a few years back, but I haven't spoken to Manny at CCOT in Dallas in a some time so I don't think it materialized. I should've just dropped the coin on a Toyota hood before they discontinued them. :mecry:^^^ Me too. I'm looking for a junk beater 40 to turn into a 45 long bed. As I've learned from ICON/TLC, all you need is the VIN tag, a matching Title and a good hood. :grin
Everything but a decent hood is available in the aftermarket. IMHO, the repop hoods are shapeless and bland. Nothing says FJ like the headlight/grill surround and the hood.
The photo's are from Aqualu, 6 inch extended cab FJ45 with matching F/G removable roof. They also have a matching, 6 inches off the front of the bed, long bed. >
