Do you have the mounting brackets?
would it fit on the front of a stock 97 4runner without to much hassel? I like the look of them
I'll do a little research and get back to you, it's only four bolts that hold it on, so if the 97 didn't have those holes I can imagine it wouldn't be too hard to just drill em. Let me look a bit first though.
I think it might only fit on the fat lip bumper. I've done some looking and havent seen anyone with the flat bumper running that skid.
damn these things never go on sale at the right time. If you still have it in a week or two, i'll be interested. :biggrin2:

The brackets that come with the skid plate for 99-02 4Runners will make it stick pretty far out past the 96-98 bumper. The 01-04 Tacoma brackets work perfectly for 96-98, though I'm not sure if you can get them separate from the plate; you might want to inquire at a dealer about that. Here's a pic of my 97 with the Tacoma plate (identical to the 4Runner one, except for brackets):
You can still purchase the whole kit new from Toyota, prices are in the $100-200 range depending on where you buy.
Here's a video I did on the install, as well, if you want to see how everything attaches and lines up.
Thanks sauce, good video and info. I'm not looking to spend $100 on brackets though for something that is mostly cosmetic. Do you know where I could find used brackets, other than a junk yard?

Where are you? Old Howard?
sorry, I havn't been on in about two weeks, got caught up with work. I am in the rockaways in queens.
That's ok, I grew up in Queens & saw the sand. It looked like old Howard to me. I used to hang out on 116.
