hey i have a friend who has a '97 4runner. she has a friend at a body shop who owes her a favor and he ordered the hood w/ the scoop from the 'highlander' model. the guy a the shop said it doesn't fit on hers because it is an inch too long. i thought it was b.s., just because he doesn't want to take the time to do it. i was wondering if anyone has mede this retrofit for themselves.

thanks for any insight!

 

Oh wow! I don't know personally, but I find that highly suspect too! I was under the impression that all 3rd gen Runners were very close in specs??? That is definately a mod I'd like to do if I had a non-scoop model


I bet they are afraid of the cost from Toyota, can't imagine thats a cheap hood.

 

They are full of it! Any hood will fit on any 96-2002 4Runner, scoop or no scoop.

 

Correct, that hood will fit!

By the way, those hoods are not that expensive...the expensive part is the paint!! $160.00 for the hood, $400.00 to have it painted to match

 

thanks everyone!

 

where did you find the hood for $160???

:eek:

 

no kidding!!! a 160 hood..super cheap...

 

This place sells hood w/scoop for $148.95

wow pfdaxe,
i searched for the 01 headlghts and they are the cheapest i've seen yet!! are these the same ones as the multireflective kind??? and if so, i'm sure they will retrofit my 96 correct??? great site!! thanks

 

Multi reflector head lights '99-'02 will fit into '96-'98 with no problem. The once on that site should be multi reflectors since the part number is different than the '96-'98 ones they carry. You may want to call just to verify. Also, here is a link to an Ebay auction that's selling some:
