Can it be DONE?

[4runneraddict]

I have a 2nd gen 4runner ARB bumper is it possible to make it fit a 3rd gen
4runner? I sold my old ride and still have this bumper sitting around. Has anyone done this mod or have an idea where I can find info on the mods needed. I have a friend that is a very good welder.

I swear LINY4runner (I think thats how his screen name is spelled) did that conversion. Check his build thread.

If it's been done, I guarantee the first step was taking off the stock bumper and seeing what lines up. Why not start there?

It's probably just a matter of pulling off the old bumper, seeing what lines up (in anything) and doing a cut and weld job on the brackets to get everything to line up. There is a huge amount of difference so I can't imagine it would take a ton of work to get it to work.

Yep, your right. It was for a 2nd gen though and he made it work:
