2nd gen to 3rd gen front end
is it at all possible to swap a front end of a 3rd gen 4runner to the 2nd gen? grill, lights, and fenders? or is the swap too much of a pain in the arse/expensive?

The body lines and shape of the fenders are very different, getting the fenders to meet with the door and look decent would be a major undertaking and probably leave you with pretty lackluster results.
