    How many people have done the conversion? Saw this one on here but haven't seen many people do it I think it looks good.

    That's actually a 3rd Gen Hi-Lux grille on a 1st Gen 4Runner.

    Thanks. Didnt realize that. Always thought 80-83 was 1st, 84-88 2nd, and 89-95.5 3rd.

    It could be considered a 3rd gen grille depending upon whether or not the Stout is considered the 1st Gen. Some say yes, some no. :notsure:IMG_2645.jpgStout (first gen?)IMG_2646.jpg1st gen Hi-Lux 68-72 IMG_2647.jpg2nd gen Hi-Lux 72-78IMG_2648.jpg3rd gen Hi-Lux 79-83IMG_2649.jpg 4th gen Hi-Lux 84-88

    So far I like them. Light spread is a lot better than the stock halogens

    Hey Man looks great! I was thinking about doing this conversion as a friend at work has an '82 pickup and wants to swap grills with my '88. What did you have to do to make it work? Have any pictures of the install?

    I’m working on this conversion/retro fit right now. I’m just wondering what people have done to get the grille to fit. Looks like the depth has to be adjusted and the width either trimmed to fit the original headlight bezels or the bezels trimmed to fit the earlier grille. Any info appreciated! Thanks,

    I trimmed the original bezels and fiberglassed them to the pickup grill. Then I found some plastic license plate fasteners that clip into the square holes in the core support to secure the center of the grill (the two center mounts on the grill line up perfectly)
