    Hi everyone, thanks for having me on this forum. I have a '96 Base Tacoma and recently got in a crash. The core support, hood, radiator, condenser, grille, valance, passenger headlight, fender and inner fender all got messed up. I kept it to to fix it up but the problem is that my local yard has plenty of 90s 4runners and no tacos with good front ends. I have seen 4runners with taco front ends but not the other way and I can't find an answer to my question. Will a 4runner front end fit a taco? More specifically, will the inner fenders fit? Hopefully someone on here can help me out. Thanks!:)

    A thread like this pops up every once and a while, I remember seeing one a couple months ago. Alot of people putting Tacoma fronts on 4runners. Pretty sure it can be done the other way around
