    Hey guys,

    Quick question, I am wondering if anyone has done a 96-99 Front Bumper Conversion On 2000-02. It is because I have a 00-02 and liking the look of the 96-99 bumper. Is there any mods you would have to do? Links/Pictures below for example

    The parts probably fit but you have to drill a shit ton of holes in your body panels.

    , the 99+ had an extra crash bar that the 96-98 4runner bumper can't fit without cutting. It's doable, but it wont be a direct swap like many mods.
