96-98 and 99-02 Grill Guard Mounts the Same?

I am thinking of purchasing Nrgetic99's 99-02 grill guard and I was wondering if the mounts from a 99-02 are the same as the 96-98, can anyone confirm this?

Thanks

NO

No, it WILL NOT fit, unless you buy his 99 bumper to go with it.

Yeah the part that juts out to go around the nose of the new Runners won't look right on the 96-98 ones. Take a closer look at the front and you will see what i mean.

I know that the bumper on 99-02 4Runner stick out further but what I know is the grill guard going to fit on to the 96-98 mounting points even though the grill guard is going to stick out a bit.

hmmmm,

you mean you know it won't fit properly but you are wondering if the miss-fit will look okay enough to get by?

must be a good deal!

i would bag it and get something that is made to fit your vehicle.

it will be stronger, look better, and in the long run you will be happier.

my $.02

happy cow catching!

BTW: the mounting points don't match

For the record, I would have told Vato this if he had asked me before posting....

...I have however been very difficult to reach recently

(just to clear any confusion )
