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.

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

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

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
