very nice...I thought about converting my 81 to the 82-83 headlights/grill but decided to keep it stock.
The ARB looks awesome. Stock ARB for 1st Gen or did you make a 2nd Gen bumper work.

The ARB is made for an 84-85 pickup/4runner. Yea I had to cut on it to make it fit right. Thanks for the compliments.
