Why not an 85? i heard thats the most compatable and easiest to swap. :dunno:
86 Toyota 4runner, 33X12.5-15 Aurora RT/02's on Series 97 15X10 rock crawlers, 3" performance body lift, Rancho RS5000's... Soon to be Marlin 1200 Clutch, tube bumper front and rear, nerf bars and roof rack... future plans include SAS 5.29's detroits!

Are you talking about changing an IFS to another IFS?

Are you talking about those fiberglass front fenders & hoods to make a older truck look like a Tacoma or Tundra?

He's thinking about just the grill I believe.  He likes the 92 2WD grill and I think that's what he was talking about swapping out on the front end.  It's been done but he was just trying to see if anyone around here had an experience with it, or any pictures. 
in the projects nooga, anything goes
