probably as long as its the same generation of truck/4runner should work...
im sure that others probably have some more to add tho...

Its actually amazing how well the thing held up at least the body part of the vehicle,I got hit from the rear it actually buckled all the way to the front doors but the frame moved a lot driver side rear the leafs springs got pushed back into the bumper bracket not really sure how far the right side went forward.I just put a new motor in it about 3 months before this happened so im trying to figure out hot to still be able to take it off roading since I purchased a Subaru.. I will post a link to my photobucket website their is other pics and offroad video's you may want to view.Right now im using a sawzall to take off the back part of the 4runner if anybody has some suggestions i would appreciate it..

Save the running gear, and the engine and find a new truck. It will be cheaper and easier.

You can probably have the frame put on a rack and straightened fairly easily and relatively cheaply. However all that body work will be a fortune. Maybe its time to build some sort of freek, 4runner/pickup truggy...

Actually yeah im going to just cut it up and make it a monster 4runner rig no use going all out on another 4 runner since I got that car payment now so I will just make this a good offroad vehicle
