truck/4runner fender compatibility

is there a difference between the front fenders on a 94 2wd pickup and a 95 2wd 4runner? I found a guy selling both of them in great shape for 30 bucks, but I dont know if they fit -- my 4runner has to giant rust holes in them...

you rock - thanks for providing the pictures --

That just might be worth doing - in fact I may even have some corner lights at the house ...

Thanks Again,

They are exactly the same , what people are meanning is that there are differences between 4WD and 2WD . But you stated that they are both 2 WD.

JustinKing- I'm interested to know which fenders your 2wd 4runner has? The ones like the 4runner pic posted above, or the p/u??

On the few 2wd runners i have seen, the only way i could really tell they were 2wd was because of the missing diff/CVs.

So justinking - the 2wd pickup fenders are going to be narrower and have the parking lights 'upside down' compared to the fenders on your truck. Not sure about mounting, though i would imagine that you would be able to mount them just fine. Never took about my old 2wd, so i'm not positive.

I'm sorry , I have a 90 4runner 4X and a 92 Xtra Cab 4X , The whole front clip is exactly the same. My BAD I ASSUMMED that it being a 2 WD would have made it a 2 WD front end. Where are the rust hole's ? If there around the fender over the wheels , you could mount some fender flares for cover.

I do apparently have the 4wd fenders -- The rusty areas are to the top rear of both fender wells, passenger side is about 2 inches above the chrome trim and the driver side is about 3 inches higher.

I thought about some fender cutouts, but that might look goofy without 4wd and lift. I have thought about going to a 31x12.5 for a little bit wider look.... That might work well together, but I would rather just replace them I guess. I have a passenger side fender that I can use(its red) so I should probably just find the other and have them painted. My concern is the pinstripes(if you can call them that) would not look good..

I would take goofy over rusty , but I dont think they would look all that bad. There is a thread on here about some fender flares from thailand , might check them out.

hmm.. I dont like it.
I was never a fan of how the rear fenders/box where flared out but the fronts where not.
Seemed like they cheaped out on that one.

It should since the pickup didn't change over till 89.
They will be very close if not exact fit.
