You need to buy one from the emblem place for $70. It's an FJ40 logo I think.

well the one usually used and the one that i used is the logo from the early models (58-73) and it was only 40CDN bucks from the dealership. One guy on here used the 73-79 and thats the one thats 70 bucks.

Another option, if you don't like JTO and/or want to save $20:

Disclaimer: I have not bought from them, or this item, I think it is the same one though.

Heres my version of the Satoshi with the commonly used early emblem...the part number for the emblem is in there somewhere.

forgive my moment of noob-iness where does the Satoshi mod get its name?

:laugh:

EDIT: Oh yeah. Link

EDIT II: I almost forgot...SEARCH n00b!

as always post the pics when done

i forget where i got mine, but i do remember it was only 40 bucks online, delivered. do some searching and you shouldnt have to pay 70...

If I recall, mine was less than 40 on eBay. Just look around, you can get some deals.

try IH8mud.com

time for me to take a hacksaw to my grill :nono:


oh yeah im going to look into the decals for you, do you have any color combo samples of which one you want.

no samples, i have the millineum silver paint, was thinking black/red... black/white? what do you think?
the dealer has these for 27 bucks, problem is theres only 23 in transit to the country!!!

Do you like this color combo, of course they wont say that :great:

not to sure if i am digging the red, but if you think it wil pop on the silver, im game!

sent you a pm, ive got a FJ emblem for you. I decided Satoshi is not for me :)

ok, i have the grill here and the logo is on the way, are there any problems with having everything done and ready and waiting on the logo or do i need it before i attach the mesh? i am going to do it like godzilla did and make the support bracket run the length of the grill and i am going to spray can it to match my paint job!

Some people paint the logo, but I didn't. I think it looks fine in it's normal form.

moving along at snail speed...all i have done is cut out the grill to begin to bondo the inside of it...could i get away without fiberglassing? just cake the bondo in the the depper pockets?

also, what could i do with the circle toyota logo??? been bugging me to find some use for it!

i didnt bother filling in the gaps where the slats were cut. painted black w/ the black mesh, you could hardly see up in there unless your face was right up to the grille. i bought my grille off ebay slightly modded already. all i did was recess the mesh about 3cm (originally it was flush to the outer grille face..yuck) & add the emblem. however, my mesh was mounted differently. edges were bent to form to the inner shape of the grille and this bend is what hides most of the uglyness of not 'glassing the inner bezel.

what to do with the circle emblem? why attach it to a gold rope, grab a velour kangol & a pair of adidas..n you'll be biig pimpin :hillbill:
