I'am doing this conversion as well. I thought about cutting it away but then you would never get proper headlamp adjustment and when I put the grill on it stuck out. Most of it didn't line up to well. I went to the junkyard and cut out a radiator support for the 4Runner. At the yard you can either cut it out or drill the spot welds. If your not into welding, drilled the spot welds on your truck and you can turn it into a bolt on installation. It takes a little time but with the correct radiator support everything will fit perfect.

for all u guys still doing those conversions, i simply drilled out the holes for the headlight's bolts. on my 90 p/u there were these long ass screws that went into some plastic things but for the 4runner headlights, all u need to do if u NEED to do it just drill a hole to fit a bolt through the top bolt, side (itll be the bottom hole and really close to the edge of the support) and the bottom. i had to move my horn a lil bit to the right but there was a hole already there lol. also just get the plugs from nappa or something. the bolts dnt need to be any longer than 1"-1.5"

MESSAGE ME if u guys need pics

 

where did u get the front end???

 

what if i get a 4runner hid headlights conversion, will that work or will i still need the plugs? also, do i need to purchase the 4runner mounting bolts...?

 

ebay sells them, you can buy piece per piece, which i did but dunno hows its gunna turn out or fbirides has the whole aftermarket kit aswell or try a local toyota junk yard.

 

thanks!!!

 

i got all my stuff from this spot in La Habra

 

yeah you have to have 4runner fenders or 4wd fenders they are the same the corner lights are different between 2wd and 4x4

 

i have a set of the 4runner headlight plug tails. Pm if you want them.

 

Ok, so i'm almost done getting every part i need to do this conversion except for the bolts. But where did you guys get the 4runner bolts and do you have to make new holes for these new bolts.

 

what do i need to put a 4runner front bumper on my 91?

 

bumper brackets, 4runner turn lenses

 

If you can get your hands on the complete bumper with brackets and signals, grab it... everything is unbolted and bolted back on. If you're doing a 92-95 4runner bumper, you're gonna need the light bulb sockets from the donor vehicle. The bulb sockets from the pickup are different.

 

I trimmed my core support to my 4 runner head lights in and cut one of the mounts off the grille cause it hit something. Moved horn and used 3/8 head self tapping screws to bolt them to the core support. I shimmed the lights with washers to get the housing to fit good, then adjusted them as normal. The 4runner grille does stick out more than the 2wd truck.
