    Will be posting this on Reddit as well as here. New to me 1999 Tacoma SR5 2WD owner here. I'm repairing my wrecked Tacoma that I bought from the original owner who wrecked it in the front. I purchased the bumper and grille for the 4WD models and they're currently on the way but I see now that there's a difference in the 2WD and 4WD front end styling. I personally like the design of the latter much better than the original so I just want to see if anyone has done this swap or knows whether these should bolt right up or if it's going to require some modifications? Any help is appreciated!

    As far as I know it'll fit perfectly--I've seen pictures of trucks with the "wrong" grille before.

    Be gentle while trying to install it and you can return it if it doesn't work.
