96 4Runner w/ 2002 lights, grille, skidplate - PICS!

Just thought I'd post pics of what I've done recently...I put the '02 Sport skidplate on my 96. I have Limited style trim in the dark blue/gray/charcoal color that I'm thinking about putting on....Whatcha think??

Doug,

Looks really sharp---good job! What kind of fog lights do you have? They look amber. One of these days in a few months, I'll probably add a set. How much were they?

I haven't been to GA since the Olympics. I always forget how scenic the state is until I see pics of GA from forum members.

Hey, did you modify the brackets for the skid plate? I ask because I got the skid plate too and when i test fit the skid plate it stuck out about 3-4" past my front bumper. It stuck out too far because the 99+ 4runners have that extended front bumper. It looked pretty bad so I am going to modify the brackets some how so it is almost flush and i was wondering if you did the same because it looks like it.

Nolan...I had the same problem with the bracket and the plate sticking out too far I think I ended up reversing the brackets and using the rear mounting holes on the plate with the front most mounting holes on the brackets...I'll get a pic today and post it for you...its still plenty stable and solid

sdastg1 - I heard that you couldnt just swap bumpers...that there was more to it than a simple swap...anyone know exactly what has to be done to "upgrade" to a newer bumper?

I have no clue. I thought I had read earlier that it was compatible with 96-02 4runners. But this is just word of mouth. If you find out let me know too. thanks

I got these fog lights a while back...the reason I got them is because they were thin rectangles and would fit in the top gap of the front lower trim...they are regular H3 bulb fog lights

Hey cool thanks, pictures of how you mounted it would be greatly appreciated!

Also where did you pick up the grill at? I think it looks sweet with the 99+ mulit reflective lenses. I was thinking about about getting the grill but I wasnt sure because i have the charcoal bumpers also, but i think it goes very well.

I think I either got the grille off Ebay..or from Toyotaparts4u.com...I cant remember...I buy so much stuff *haha*

I had to put them on this way to avoid it sticking out too far in the front

Hey 96TRDsc ! Thanks so much for the pics on the skid plate. I got one a week ago and haven't been happy with how far it sticks out. Your pics are really going to help me and I'm going to the garage right now to make the switch.

Yotatech rules!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Doug,

What are you going to do with the old 96 grille? I would be interested in that. Just let me know. If you know anyone who needs a 99 sr5 grille, I would be willing to sell or trade. And if you don't want the limited flares, I would be interested in that also.

Bob and 96runner....if I can get my hands on some limited flares, i will be willing to get rid of my sr5 flares if either of you are interested.
