My grill took a hit today....a 4x4 fell off the back of a truck got me in the teeth. Ran down the guy and he will pay. What years will fit my 1994? Would like to update the "TOYOTA" with newer if they are interchangable with newer years..If so what years?


Thanks

Sorry to hear that.

The grill from 91-94 with "TOYOTA" should fit with no problem, but the one from 95-97 will not fit, not perfectly anyway.

I can't remember which one but if you try replacing the older grill with the newer one you will either get a "gap" between the grill and the panel below it or you will have to trim some space off of the grill to make it fit perfectly (or something like that).

And don't even bother trying to fit the LX grill, it won't work (so I heard).

Good luck!

i dont think the headlight trim will line up with the older grill (91-94). But thats just what Ive heard. I think you have to stick with a 91-94 grill

The headlamps are also different. The grille-to-headlamp mounting is not the same.

I agree - the "TOYOTA" one just looks more like a Cruiser....as does the non-airbag steering wheel IMO.

T O Y O T A looks better than the "jelly bean", which those with the weak tranny must endure.

A footnote to the "TOYOTA" grille.

The original part number, 63111-60070, has been replaced by a 53111-60100. The later part number is actually a diesel grille and it has two holes in the center bar to the right of "TOYOTA". These holes are used to mount a "Diesel" or Turbo" emblem for other markets. Alas, we get to stare at holes or no new grille at all.

Before I sold our 92, I tried to swap the grille onto the 97 because I too like the TOYOTA look better. But it wouldn't go.

The logo first surfaced in 1990 and was used on multiple models. It was used on the back of all 80's and on the sparkplug wire covers.

If first appeared in the grille of the 80 in January 1995.
