that isn't a 04 front end, it's just a 04 sr5 bumper/apron, it's still rn85 panels, just with chrome grill. |

I have seen a full n167 sr5 front conversion on a n85(full headlights instead of the old sealed beam style) but the front grill/headlight mounting look pretty messy under the hood. if the front is that far fucked, have you though about swapping cabs with something newer? a bit of an involved job(fair bit more work and wiring) but it will definatley been different/fresher looking. Cab from a vzn167 would look sweet Thanks for your help Mongrel From your post I seem to understand (please correct me if I am wrong) that my vehicle is a "n85" ? Im afraid I dont know my luxes for sh#t... so Im just looking for a new bumper/grill upgrade I just assumed it would require a bonnet and guards to make it all fit The cab on my lux is still really good, so Im just looking at grill/bumper/headlight and possibly guards/bonnet to change Preferably something that can bolt directly on, but if I have to fab a few brackets or something it wont be a problem I know you can mix and match some parts, perhaps you can offer a combination? Cheers. |

If you search Ebay you'll find them in kits. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HILUX-89-96-MINI-TR...b#ht_570wt_1165 edit: add some LN106 guards if you want some extra width Yeah my ute is the 2.4.. 22R I think... but it is getting scrapped for a 202 Red and auto. I saw that ebay front end the other day... but is that pricey for what it is as opposed to buying the pieces from a wreck? And if Im not mistaken.. the LN106 would be off a toyota surf?  Thanks again for your help
