Yea you could cut up your existing rad support and make it all fit. The grille will need those little white clips to attach to the rad support. Or you could buy a newer rad support and mock it up then weld it into place. The corner lights may need to be changed or you could get some filler plates.
You will need the following;

sawzall / welding machine / couple gallons of bondo
A very large bag of curse words. :lol:

don't bother.
(1) Welcome to CT! ... :waytogo:

(2) No - a 1998 - 2000 Tacoma front clip will not fit onto a pre-1996 4Runner 'as is'. Your 1992 4Runner is most similar to a 1989 - 1995 'PreTaco' pickup, which has different body / frame dimensions from a 1995.5 - 2004 Tacoma.
alright so anybody know which style front grill/headlight assembly would fit?

i only want to change mines out because i cant find aftermarket headlights all i can find is the glass ones and i dont want those. i need the plastic ones to take apart and do my projector retrofit
you should just spend the time on modifying your headlights..
oh well guess ill try n figure something out...
I've seen '02 front ends on those 4 runners it looks great
really? damn question is has anyone seen a build thread on it? or any info? if not ima guinea pig it
