ok then, just wanted to know if anyone has tried this!!
i have a 1993 grill love it but dont like the lights, has anyone put the 1994-96 lights in a 1993 grill.
i gave i have to cut out black and side of grill as shown in pic!

 

Do you mean these lights?

If so, you have to swap out the whole grille and modify the core behind the headligths.

 

i think the composite lights in a 92-95 2WD grille would look sick...

 

I thought about this but have not attempted it...

 

the thing is on the 94, you get both set back and flush fit!
and the only difference is extra black incert and side has bar down between light and corner light.

 

Yeah I'm completely aware of it. soooooooooooo anyone have an extra grille or two? hahaha

 

yeah thats my worry!

 

I'm confused...

89-95 U.S. trucks never came with flush headlights from the factory. 92-95 4Runner's did.

 

i still dont know what your wanting to do...has it been done before?

 

Here is my trucks front end and it is stock and has flush head lights.

 

^^ Sorry, but that's not stock. The previous owner probly did the swap. And you also have 4wd fenders, 2wd fenders don't have a flare. You have a 92-95 4Runner front clip.

Here's my '93 with the stock front end.

 

hum the owner was an old man and told me it was completely stock but if they never made them stock like this i am confused.

 

Was he the original owner?

 

Not 100% sure but i thought he said he was. If you would have seen the owner you would be as confused as me. Haha i wonder it the front end was wrecked as replaced with a runner front end.

 

Dang dave you got a long driveway. Um yah if old dude said its stock then hes smokin rock. Its stock yah but not for a 2wd.

 

That could've happened. When you get a chance, take a look at the core the radiator is mounted to. The core's are different between the trucks and the 4runner's behind the headlights. Does it look like someone trimmed it? But that couldv'e been replaced if it was in an accident. Either way, that is a very popular swap, especially with minitrucker's.

Yeah, that was my old house up in Columbia Village. Sucked arse to shovel!

 

I guess one less thing for me to do. I thought that was the 1993 look, guess i got lucky on this buy.

Tomorrow i will take a look and take a few pictures maybe you can verify for sure.

 

Yeah ya did! I've always thought about doin that swap, but I did the 4wd pickup front clip instead. Ya don't see it as often.

 

yah you got lucky. For reference here are my front ends I think if I remember correctly the fenders, bumper, corners are from a 93-95 4x4, the grill is from a stock 2wd 91, and the valance is from a 89-91 2wd.

THe black one is completly 4x4 everything off same year truck.

 

I think what 2graphic is trying to do is keep his stock grille cause he likes the look of it, but in the first pic where the red dotted lines are he wants to cut that part off and put the 92-95 4runner headlights in that spot. It looks like it might work but i would have to check out the 4runner headlights and line them up with the stock grille after it is cut out. Anyone got a scapped grille they can give me?
