I'm wondering if the side mirrors are different between year 1996 to 2002 4Runner. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

hopefully someone can confirm, but i dont THINK so. the only difference is some are heated, some are not.

 

I believe Lee is right but I am also not 100% sure.

 

I've seen thinner mirrors for older years of 3rd gen.......they're the black kind

 

you konw, i do believe the mirror changed VERY slightly in shape because of 96-98 owners complaining about mirror wind noise. there is a tsb on it too. check all data and you may be able to pinpoint the year.

if you are looking for a replacement mirror, just buy your same year. be safe, not sorry

straight fron toyo dealership.....no change ....model numbers differ with it being "electric" or "electric and heated" or "non electric" the mirrors themselves are all shaped the same and fit the same.....color coded to your make and model of your truck.....SR5/Sport Edition/Limited

this info was provided by "Toyota of Texas" Grapevine, TX

 

Thanks alot guys! special thanks for JC1KZ for the confirmation. I'm trying to purchase a used side mirror and do a little modfication on the mirror in order to place my IPF 924 search light around.

Thanks again!

 

Uh, I just had a 97 in my posession and the side mirrors were clearly different than my 96.

 

actually, the plugs for the "electric" vs the "electric & heated" are different...

best to just stick w/ what you have...
