Just Wondering?

[DUMBDIZZAL]

i have a 1990 4runner and i was wondering if anyone has done a 1997 front end conversion on theirs? what all do i need to replace?

 

[T?@\7]

that would be pretty extensive mate

 

[DUMBDIZZAL]

well honestly my brother has some pimp projector style headlights that i would love to have on my 4runner. but they are the 97 style headlights

 

[DUMBDIZZAL]

the conversion i meant is the grille headlights corner markers etc.....

 

[T?@\7]

Just converting headlights and all that (no sheet metal) will be wayy cheaper than converting front clips...
****, im sure if you were good with a dremel you could make anything work.. but on that token you don't wanna be the guy barrelling down the road with some loose ass hids flying all around, do you? Think it through, buy em and flip em if you cant use em..hell.
goodluck

these are what i want on my runner

 

[T?@\7]

nice lookin piece(s), why doesnt your brother want em

 

[DUMBDIZZAL]

he is a dealer for after market parts

 

[T?@\7]

well idk brother, this brings You to the Form vs. Function argument....what this would cost You (Either in dollars, or dollars AND your time) is most likely (not for sure) not worth it.
I think your time and money would be better invested. $0.02 of course

 

[DUMBDIZZAL]

Has anyone done the swap? before and after pics? what all did you have to replace?

i know that! but i think all i would need to do is fenders, corner makers, grille and maybe the hood. i just wanted to know if it has been done before

And probably radiator support! Would the body lines match on the fenders/doors? I've seen it done on a 3rd gen. The guy put like an 03ish Tacoma front clip on it. It looked awesome! But the body lines were the same. I would do some more research on it if I were you cause I'm not sure it would look right

 

[DUMBDIZZAL]

its just sittin in there. what do you guys think?

 

[T?@\7]

looks like a frankenrunnerrover evil

 

[DUMBDIZZAL]

the l.e.d. and halos

Looks good, at night.

 

[DUMBDIZZAL]

they worked in there but the bottom of the lights stick out about an inch past my corner markers. but were gonna do a prerunner bumper on it and have it wrap around the corner marker so you wont be able to tell. i just need to get a 97 grille now.

 

[T?@\7]

does look pretty cool, will definitely have people confused about whats rolling up! hows the output from behind the wheel, are they brighter??

 

[DUMBDIZZAL]

they are a heck of a lot brighter and were maybe puttin h.i.d. in them too. my buddy said it looks like a range rover
