    so we had some blizzards... okay, huge ass chunk of ice and slush fell off back of a truck.... i ran into it, hits the left side of my valance.. bumper is untouched

    So i was trying to bend it back today, rubber mallet, some blocks of metal, etc etc.. Didn't do too much.... looks bad still.

    So my dad tells me to leave it and he'll get me another one.

    I don't want to get a 2wd valance...

    would a 4runner (1994 "facelift") valance fit my 2wd bumper? I know i will trim the middle part, but how about the rest?

    if i end up getting a 4wd bumper, do i use 4wd brackets?

    I don't believe so. When I switched mine over to a 4wd bumper/valance, the mounting tabs are different. Plus the 4wd & 4runner bumper/valance are a touch wider.

    What did you do to mount yours?
    the width is fine with me. I'll eventually get 4wd/4runner fenders too

    4wd fenders are wider than 4runner fenders

    I bought the 4wd chrome bumper, 4wd painted valance, & 4wd bumper brackets. The mounting brackets are different also. I basically have a whole 4wd front end.
