    Noob here with some noob questions. For the 95-97 tacomas we're the fenders the only difference between a 2wd 5 lug and a 4x4 body wise?

    Fenders, core support, grill, bumper and corner lights are all different. Inside the cab the floor pan has a different cut out where the shifters for the T-case and Trans come threw. There is a few other things under the hood that have different mounting points like the window washer reservoir.

    Other than that they are pretty much the same. If you are looking to use a 2wd cab on a 4wd frame you are good to go.

    So cosmetically it's just the fenders, bumper, grill and Corner lights?
