Does anyone have any pictures of how much i have to cut out on my front clip to mount my 4 runner headlights?until i can find someone parting one out to take their front clip

 

i just did it again and i had to cut absolutely nothing. just relocated the ac dryer and the headlights mount up.

 

cool thanks man

 

here are some close ups of how I bolted the 4runner head lights.






Then

 

Damn if I woulda seen those pics about 2 months ago I wud have a 4runner front instead of the phantom

 

awesome pics help sooo much..how do u get your corners to stay?just the 2 screws?

 

2wd corners come with 2 studs that clip into the 2wd grill, just remove them. and use the 2 screws to secure them in place, on my red truck I had aftermarket corners and the inside was different than the stock ones I have now. I had to trim a bit off the housing for it to fit as close to the 4wd grill. That way there is not that much gap between the 2.

 

yeah i have some aftermarket 4wd corners and removed the studs but they still stuck out..so i guess i gotta trim a bit.thanks again

 

no prob.

 

pics don't work anymore

 

Fixxed

 

thanks toy spd that helps alot. so for you it was just bolt on the 4runner parts?

 

1st I just zip tied the head lights on, then I installed the grill.

After that I centered the lights and grill, once everything was in order and had a nice gap, I used self taping screws to hold the head lights. 4 screws per head light.

Then I just went back and re-drilled the screw holes, got nuts and bolts from my Toyota bolt bin and bolted them right up. I used a rubber spacer for the 2 bottom brackets. You have to have the factory bracket in order for this to work. The last picture shows the factory bracket.

And that's it.

Corner markers require the stud removal and trimming of the bottom portion of a vent so you wont have a huge gap.

Bumper is straight bolt on.

I used the electrical pig tails for the head lights and for the bumper lights so everything is factory sealed.

 

so the factory bracket is from the 4runner or the pickup?

 

yeah its comes on the 4runners and is bolted to the lower tab on the head lights, if you go to the pick a part when you pull them off, they are right there on the truck, instead of removing the lower tab, just unbolt the bracket and leave it attached to the lower tab.

 

alright man. thanks. great info. your way seems much easier than welding in the 4runner radiator support core. did you swap out the fenders too?

 

nope, one side of the bumper was bent in, so I just bent in the other side. The bumper sticks out a little, but not as much as it did as my red truck.

 

nice. damn one more question and im done. so when ppl say they swaped their fenders for the 4wd ones, are they referring to the 4runner fenders or the 4wd toyota pickup? sorry big newb.

 

Those are the same fenders, even if you get a 2wd 4runner fender its the same as the 4wd truck.

 

4runner and 4x4 fenders are the same. So either will work
