What do you guys think

Ok i did a search but i didn't find what i was looking for. So i might have access to a SUPER cheap rolled 96 runner with a 3.0 the frame is still strait and all the drive train is all good the body took most of the damage. So what do you think should i buy it and swap the bodies?
Oh ya i have a 95 4 runner

why dont you just buy it and swap motors...sounds less redic to me..
Not to mention...I dont think the body mounts are the same, and I dont think their frames are remotely the same

Sorry, somehting isn't adding up. there's a 1996 with a 3.4L? The body mounts aren't the same between 1995-1996.

You guys are all confused! Sheesh.

Sutsch: You cannot do a direct-bolt body swap. You have a 95, which is a 2nd gen, and you have found a 96 which is a 3rd Gen. EVERYTHING is different, the two 4Runners share absolutely NO parts.

FYI- Its IMPOSSIBLE to have a 1996 Model year 4Runner with a 3.0L Gasoline engine. Assuming its a V6, it will be the 3.4L 5VZFE V6, which is completely different from the 3.0L in your 95 4Runner.
