Front End, Grilles & Bumpers

Everything forward of the fenders: radiator supports, front bibs, grille panels, headlight frames and buckets, front beams, air intake plates and bumpers for Land Cruiser 40-Series, Land Rover Defender, early Bronco and Datsun 240Z.

Alignment central

The front end is where every panel gap converges — hood, fenders, grille and lights all reference these parts. Bent radiator supports from old impacts are the hidden reason a truck's hood never sat right; replacing the support and gapping from a straight datum fixes what years of shimming couldn't.

Fitting

Most front-end panels bolt through slotted holes with real adjustment range: fit loose, hang hood and fenders, centre everything, then tighten. Welded supports should be measured diagonally against chassis datums before committing.

Are bumpers included with bibs or panels?

No — bumpers, bibs and supports are separate parts, listed separately.

My hood never aligned — will a new support help?

If the old one is visibly kinked at the mounts, almost certainly. Measure diagonals to confirm before ordering.
