i've got a '97 5runner. do they use the same fenders as the tacoma? I'd like to swap in tacome lights & grille. looks pretty close to me.

 

What the HELL is a 5runner?

no, they do not.

You will have to swap/modify the front core support as well, since the mid-97 and earlier tacos use a sealed beam headlight, while the 4runners use a composite.

Besides that, the rear part of the fenders will have to be modded, as they will not fit flush against the door.

 

yeah, it's been done before but probably with some modifications.
I wish i would have saved the pictures of one i saw for sale...exterior was black with Total Chaos front suspension, racing bucket seats, fully custom dash, and a few other goodies.
It was sold in AZ or NV. If anyone knows what i'm talking about please locate that taco-runner with some pics.

 

thanks. 5runner. sr5...

leave it to toyota to make something simple, right

 

I am still pondering this alleged "5Runner"

 

ponder away.

yeah, ....i still dont get it?

 

yeah still no such thing as a 5 runner..... lol. SR5 or not, still a 4runner. lol.

 

I think I might call mine a 6Runner!

 

I know what your talking about Rocket, I have seen pics of it also, I thought it was hot looking!!! But I didnt save them either!!!

 

I think mine will also be a 6Runner now, I like that! Now, who wants to join my toyota 6Runner club?

 

I like the 1Runners


I assume you all are thinking of this customer 4Runner-Taco: http://www.customtacos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81706

 

Thats the one I was talking about, good job Bill!!!

EDIT: Here are the pics from over on customtacos.com - Is this the one you meant Rocket?

 

NOTE: The first 4Runner with a Tacoma front clip I saw was *here on YotaTech* back in summer 2005 ...

The photos have disappeared from the YT thread, and I saved only one locally. I've posted this one surviving photo in the CustomTacos thread (cited above) for archival purposes (it exceeds the posted YT attachment limit).

 

that looks like crap in my opinion, taco fronts were definitely not made for 9runners

 

i see another 5runner word here im going to shoot somebody

what is your spare a 5th axle? its like saying my dick is my third leg

 

Wow,

I followed your link to try to figure out this 5Runner thing. I couldn't figure it out either.

But, I'm glad I followed your link:



Did you actually paint your brake discs?

Funny thats the 1st thing I asked myself as well....


By the way if you join my club the 9runners we promise +300hp 600+ pounds of tourqe and the ability to fly without wings.. and thats just with our sticker kit

 

it looks like he unloaded a full can into the whole ifs assembly hahaha whoever is responsible for that needs to come explain himself

 

Well, 3runners are sick rigs, no matter what you call 'em.
