Does anyone know if 96-00 4wd fenders are the same as 01-04 2wd fenders? How about the corner lights for them. Can you use either year corner lights on either fender?

wow, that is COMPLETELY wrong. fenders are different, 01's have some sort of tab for the corners, and the corners have a thick trim around the outer edge.
So if I have 1rst gen 4x4 fenders can I still use 2nd gen 2x4 corners on them?

besides the tab are the fenders the same? Just wondering for if I do a 4wd bumper swap. I was told that the 95-00 4wd fenders were the same as the 01-04 2wd/4wd fenders... :shrug:

yes you can, all you need to order is a bracket for the headlight support for the 2nd gen front, 20bucks per side. if you need help hit me up. im bored lol
Hey Kevin when you did ur front end conversion, did you have 1rst gen 4wd fenders or did you use 2nd gen fenders?

i got the fenders off a 98. just ordered the bracket for the headlight support off the 01-04 and bolted it on the fender. simple as that

so recap 96 97 4wd fenders work 98-00 prerunner model and 4wd fenders will work. 00.5-04 all fenders will work. for the conversion.

So the only difference is the bracket then? Nice.

Nothing else was required. Most of the support for the corner lights comes from the grille. Just make sure you don't break the mounting point on the bottom of the 01-04 headlight for the grille. IIRC, I broke mine off because something on the core support was in the way on one side. Now the bottom of the grille is zip-tied in where the headlight filler goes. :doah:

I'm not converting the whole front end over... I'm just doin fenders and front bumper 4wd from a 96. So I am wondering if that would be much different then what you did...:shrug:
