Been looking for a goot toyota board, hope this is one! I've got a 92 Toyota pickup 4x4 thats more-or-less a stripper model. I'd like to upgrade its appearance w/ new bumper(s), grill, etc. as I'm about to paint it.

Quesiton:

1) do nice/chrome 4runner bumper's fit. Also looking rock-crawlwer/pre-runner style bumpers but not sure what to go w/ and what my options are

2) what years of interior stuff is interchangeable?

3) Can I upgrade my bench w/ direct bolt in bucket seats from other toyota's (ie celica, car's, etc.)?

4) Any required upgrades I should know about?

5) Generally, what years of parts are interchangable.

6) Most 4runner stuff comatible w/ my 92 pickup?



Please feel free to offer any info that might help w/ swap or compatibility between my pickup and 4runner (or other year pickup) parts and accessories!!

I appreciate it guys, tear up the trails and DFW folks let me know if you want to head out some time!

most 4 runner stuff is compatable. I have swapped in buckets from an extended cab and theyre just amazing. As far as the buckets go two holes for each seat are already there, and you need to get out the drill for the other two. Searching will help you find a ton of info on what will and will not fit off a 4 runner.

Thx for the info, I'm going to search for some buckets, maybe some other interior bits as well.

For bumpers, search for a post by Rocket - he compiled a list of links to pretty much EVERYONE who makes bumpers for Toyotas.

90 - 95 are the same "generation" and generally have interchangeable parts, including 4Runners (notable exception is the rear suspension - you have leafs, 4Runners have coils)

You already said you're gonna search about seats. I put Corbeau sprt seats in my '89
without too much trouble.

Upgrades depend on engine, tranny, etc. If you 'wheel, lockers are a great investment. Toyota of Dallas (www.trdparts4u.com) has great prices. Chris (Valkyrie) from there is president of toyota trail riders.

Good info, i'll research all of that.

Can anyone make a good recomendation for front GRILL + corner lights? I'd like to put the most current (and fitting) one's on there, to freshen it up. I guess 95ish parts would be the one's to look at.

Anyone have good experinces w/ a particular aftermarket grill/light combo on these trucks (w/ pics maybe?!)



Thanks!

You can put the 93-95 parts on there, but I wouldn't recommend it. There are no aftermarket headlights available and the factory ones SUCK. I woul stick with your grille and "square" headlights, but replace the factory ones with Hella Vision Plus - their beam pattern is GREAT, and they take H4 bulbs.

Clear corners and turn signals are available if that's your thing.

If you will be wheelin then why not get an ARB or TJM bumper.

i have a 95 4runner front bumper on my 93 pickup it fits pretty good for the grill i would go with a 93-95 truck grill and clear coners and bumper lights
