front end swap.. need help

alright.. i got a 91 2wd and i hate the grill and the whole front end.. so i plan on paying a visit to Certifit next time i'm in SD, which will be soon hopefully.. now i'm wanting to put the 4wd fenders, grill, .. basically the front end w/ a 4runner lower valance.. now my question is what all is needed to do this front end swap.. i just wanna get everything at the same time while im there

thanks
-Clint

fenders, fender liners, lights, grille, bumper, valence.


Headlights, hood and core support are the same between the trucks.

btw good luck with that Certafit junk. Taiwan crap i would never use on my babies.

Don't get the front end from a 92+ 4runner, major modifications have to be done in order for that front end to fit a pickup ( 2wd or 4wd)

got a couple more questions before i go out and start buying ..

will the 4-runner valance fit on a 4wd pickup bumper??
or
would i need to use the whole 4-runner bumper and valance? if so.. any modification necessary to put that on a 2wd pickup..

after looking at the differences in the 4wd bumper and the 4Runner bumper, i see that i'd have to use the 4runner bumper and valance .. now will the 4runner bumper bolt up without any modification??

i know of minitruckers putting the 4runner bumper on their trucks, i had a buddy Brandon who did years ago.. i'm just not sure what he did to put it on.. the truck was heavily modified, shaved everywhere.. bodydrop, you name it.. haha..
