Toyota Pick Up Grille Conversion On 90-91, Possible?

Well my cousin just recently bought a 91 4runner, and he was wondering if the grille from 92-95 pick up 4x4 fit onto a 90-91 4runner. Has anybody done this?

I don't think so...

From looking at the pics, I don't think you can do it without swapping the headlight buckets, etc. It appears that the bezels around the lights on the pickup are more straight-up and down, where the 4R look like they angle in at the top.

Just my .02

I think he's thinking of just swapping the thewhole grille assembly witht he light bezels, he's wondering if its possible? I know the the corners are interchangeable.

92-95 Pick up


90-91 4runner

Aahhh!

Those pics answered a question in my mind about it - the bezels are attached to the grille. My 93 has the composite lamps, so the grille piece is separate. I don't have a definitive answer for you, but it should work. Most of the mechanicals are the same between the 4x4 pickup and 4Runner of the same year.

Good luck with it. By the way, where did you get thoose pics of the grille/bumpers. I've never seen a chrome valance. It looks SWEET...:eek:

Hmmm...

Looks like it can be done - who knows how easy though. I have a question about the fender flares. Those look much larger than the Bushwackers....

I think the grilles from mini's would fit onto the 90-91 4runners, if you look at the two grilles I posted before, they all have the same brackets.....hopefully it works.

The reason why I said lund is because they look alot like the flares on the truck seen
<Here>

In his description he says Lund Flares.

Lund??

Those look like you would get better coverage over a wide tire. I might be putting my Bushwackers on the block...

I hear ya...

I can only get the nose of mine in my garage. I have the Reddy Heater cranking (heating the rig and the outdoors). I'm sick of getting Kerosene. I think I've filled my 5 gal. container at least 8 times this winter.

I want to order my rims, tires, and body lift but see no point in it till it gets warm outside and I can actually put the body lift on. After that I would know whether to get some fender flares or not, and then I could have my truck painted and line-x'd.
