4runner Hoods Swappable? Going crazy.
Will someone please clear this up for me? I am about to buy a 99-02 4runner hood with the hood scoop and my 4runner is a 97. I was told that all hoods 96-02 are swappable by a few people. Makes sense, however the guy im buying it from insists that a 99-02 hood wont fit on a 97 toyota 4runner. So my question is... are all hoods from 96-02 swappable or not???? Thanks
Chris

http://www.usedpartslive.com/catalog...67+11779&Nty=1
its the second hood in the list SKU# T130101
im just wanting to make absolute sure before i spend 255 bucks on a hood that might not fit my 4runner. he says its different mounting hardware, dimensions and stuff. its brand new factory replacement for a stock 99-02, not a built one from scratch.

it will fit, all is covered in the thread posted above, should set your mind at ease. however, when i ordered my hood the parts guy at toyota was on the fence about whether it would fit or not and made sure that i knew that it was a non-returnable item if i screwed up. this was because he said a mechanic had ordered the same hood to put on his tacoma and when he put it on, the hood hung 1/2"-1" over the front of the headlights/grille. that's just what he said though, i have no first hand knowledge of this. but i do know for 100% certainty that i ordered a sport hood with the part #s listed in the write-up thread and it fit just fine.
i hope it works out for you!

The only reason it says "99-02" is because Toyota did not offer a scooped hood until 1999. However, since the core support and front end is essentially the same between all the years (bumpers and grilles not-withstanding) the hood is the same as well.
Keep in mind that aftermarket one will fit so-so. Taiwan quality leaves much to be desired.
Patty: The reason the 4Runner hood didn't fit the Tacoma is just that....the 4Runner and Tacoma share NO body parts at all. They are a completely different beast, unlike their predecessors.

He wants to charge you $255, yet you can get a brand new FACTORY hood from toyotapartsales.com for $241. Why would you buy aftermarket?
