4runner body swap!!!!!

I rolled my 95 runner, Im thinking of buying a 90's regular cab and swapping it on to replace the crunched cab, im hoping my friend knows what he is talking about when he says everything will fit on there, I wanna see some responses on any of you guys who have swapped another body on a frame

Make it easier on yourself, and just get another 4runner body to swap onto it.

i believe the bed mounts are different.

heres the thing tho I just wanna get it moving even without the bed cause I can always flat bed it, I bought it back from insurance for 400 bucks, its the one in my default picture, Its lifted already. The only reason I wanna do it instead of junk it is cause my buddy will help and give me the cab for 100 bucks and a pair of 15 inch rims... What do u think, custom mounts?

i mean if you want to go that route then yes just swap em...

but it would still be easier to swap 4runner bodies (in my mind) because they are the EXACT same.

Time to bust out the tape measure and flashlights.

Lysmachia and TC and a ton of wheelers in cOlorado swap Tippy's 2 nd gen 4rumner body for a 1st gen 4runner body. Search for threads by lysmachia and you will find it, lOok for tippy and tippyII. Yes they named their trucks, I am on my phone or I would find the link for you. The swap thread will have frame off pics.
It is not gonna be a direct, yes it is gonna be easy bolt on swap. But it can be done with some work.

You said you rolled it. Have to checked to make sure the frame/axles aren't bent or tweaked before you put another body on it?
