    Ive been throwing around the idea and cant really find any info if its possible. It looks like the body lines line up, only difference would be the fender flare I think. Is there anyone in az with a Barcelona red 4runner that wants to swap front ends? I'm in Phoenix but I'm willing to travel if need be. let me know

    So I have ordered a fender to see if the mounting points are the same. I did notice however, the a-pillar is different where it meets the fender. Ill keep you guys posted if there is a way to work around it without modifications...

    Welp... sad to report but it cant be done without major modifications. It looks like you would have to use parts of a Tacoma fender and frakenstein them together
