front end swap.. need help

alright.. i got a 91 2wd and i hate the grill and the whole front end.. so i plan on paying a visit to Certifit next time i'm in SD, which will be soon hopefully.. now i'm wanting to put the 4wd fenders, grill, .. basically the front end w/ a 4runner lower valance.. now my question is what all is needed to do this front end swap.. i just wanna get everything at the same time while im there

thanks

fenders, fender liners, lights, grille, bumper, valence.


Headlights, hood and core support are the same between the trucks.

btw good luck with that Certafit junk. Taiwan crap i would never use on my babies.

Don't get the front end from a 92+ 4runner, major modifications have to be done in order for that front end to fit a pickup ( 2wd or 4wd)

got a couple more questions before i go out and start buying ..

will the 4-runner valance fit on a 4wd pickup bumper??
or
would i need to use the whole 4-runner bumper and valance? if so.. any modification necessary to put that on a 2wd pickup..

after looking at the differences in the 4wd bumper and the 4Runner bumper, i see that i'd have to use the 4runner bumper and valance .. now will the 4runner bumper bolt up without any modification??

i know of minitruckers putting the 4runner bumper on their trucks, i had a buddy Brandon who did years ago.. i'm just not sure what he did to put it on.. the truck was heavily modified, shaved everywhere.. bodydrop, you name it.. haha..
