i am wanting to switch out my front end on my 94 yota and flip over to a 4runner bumper and valance. Right now i have 4wd fenders will the 4 runner bumper line up correctly with these fenders?? I asked the guys at FBI but they did not know... thanks in advance for your answers

They come close to lining up. The deal with 4 runner grille and bumper is the core support, you should really put one on if you want it to line up correctly and look good, if not you gotta cut the 2x4 core. you can modify your brackets a little also if our just doin the bumper.
In my opinion do a core swap.its alot more expensive but looks a whole lot better in the end.

Who did you ask over here?! The 4runner and 4wd have the same fenders, so the bumper will line up perfectly.
It won't bolt up to your stock bumper brackets, so you'll need to get some combo brackets (we have them for about $45).
The turn signals use slightly different plugs, so you'll have to modify your stock plugs a bit to wire them up, but other than that it's a pretty easy swap.
Chris is right about the grille and headlights- you can either mod your core or swap to the 4runner one- a bit of work either way... make sure you get 4runner corner lights, too, because although the fenders are the same, the 4wd corner lights won't mount to the 4runner grille!

Good luck with the swap- it looks great!

You will need to change them to the toyota p/u brackets to the toyota 4 runner brackets.

Another note: Your phantom has a cool extra bar at the bottom that closes the gap in the top of the 4wd bumper- the 4runner bumper is flat across the top, so you'll need to remove that bar for everything to sit flush.
