Fender switch!
Hey my 93 toyotas fenders are different from what ive seen..i think it may be because its 2wd and the ones i like are 4wd? The top of the headlights on the ones i like point toward the cab and i think it gives it a better look while the ones on my truck point the opposite direction.
<---this is what i want.
<---this is what i have.
Would it be possible to jsut get new fenders and bolt them on and jsut redo the headlights and all?

You will need new fenders and corner lights.
I have seen it done
all 2wd 89-95 trucks came with lights that appear upside down compaired to the 4wd ones.
And you cant just flip your lights over, people have tried and they dont fit.

If you want a more aggressive fender why not go fiberglass? Glassworks Unlimited makes a fender with a 3" rise and 3" flare and you wouldn't have to change your drive markers. Hannemann and Fiberwerx also have a large selection of Toyota glass options.

Yep, Toyota was smart, its all interchangable.
But note, if you plan on changing your lower valance to a 4wd one, it wont fit right, you would need a new bumper.
But the fenders will bolt right on.

I just did this swap as well....be wary of where you get the lights and stuff from. I had fitment issues with lights from ebay.
I actually have a hybrid front end now. I went from a 2wd 91 front end....the one that still says TOYOTA and not the emblem.....to 4wd fenders/ lights and kept the 2wd center grill section. (no fitment issues in the middle...just with the lights into the fender openings.
Pics for reference:
