    im gonna buy a new front end.
    i already have the 92-95 4wd grill.
    i was wondering if theres any problem mounting a 4wd bumper to a 2wd frame? Do i need 4wd bumper brackets? or does the 2wd work fine?:confused:

    You'll need the 4wd brackets. Including the fender supports for the ends of the bumper.

    I have a 94 2WD that I put 4WD fenders on. I tried to install the 4WD corner lights. However, the lights won't fit into my grille. Do I have the wrong grille? If so, which grille will bolt up? I'm not a fan of the grille that has the separate headlight doors. But, if that's the only one that will work, that's fine.

    Thanks.

    LoLux,

    Thanks for the reply. Some time ago, the 4WD corners did fit into the grille I had at the time. It's when I switched grilles that they don't fit now. It's been like 9or 10 years since I did anything to the truck. Some stuff came up and the truck sat or a long time. I just can't remember which grille I had on there when they fit. I have a pic of the front end with the grille and corners on there, just not attached to each other.

    How do you post a pic on here?
    Or I can email you some pics.

    Here's the grille I have on there now. The corner lights will not fit into the grille.

    From what I see, you have 92-95 4runner corner lights. Those don't fit.

    92-95 4runner corners are longer and have different mounting tabs.

    look for 89-95 4WD corners or 90-91 4Runner corners

    Thanks. Still seems like those lights fit into a grille I once had on there. I'll check out those corners. I appreciate your help. Thanks again.
