What fits your 2nd gen 4Runner, year by year

Pick your year and engine to see which parts fit. Every answer comes from that part's own listing.

The 2nd gen 4Runner covers six model years: 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995. Most of our parts fit all six. The headlights and the grille fit 1992–1995 only, and four engine parts are for the 3.0L V6 only.

“Either” means the listing fits the 2nd gen 4Runner and names no engine. Each row links to the listing it was copied from.

1990 and 1991 4Runners

These are listed for a 1990 or 1991: the 3-inch complete lift kit, the HD adjustable panhard bar, all three roof racks (V3 HD, Medium Duty and Light Duty), the snorkel kit, the rain guards, the dash mat and the engine parts further down.

These are not: the LED projector headlights, the DEPO-style clear lens headlights and the TRD Pro-style grille. The headlight listings say they do not fit 1990–1991 trucks because the front end changed, and the grille listing says 1990–1991 trucks use a different grille opening.

Distributor cap and rotor: choose 1990–1991 when you order.

1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995 4Runners

Every part in the table is listed for 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995. That includes all six LED projector headlight sets (Sinister, Sinister X2, ATOM, Apollo, Everest and Freya), the DEPO-style clear lens headlights and the TRD Pro-style grille.

Distributor cap and rotor: choose 1992–1995 when you order. Engine parts still depend on which engine you have.

By engine

3.0L V6 (3VZ-E) only: the intake pipe, the Denso spark plugs, the Denso spark plug wire set and the distributor cap and rotor. Their listings say they are not for the 2.4L 22RE four-cylinder.

Both engines: the power steering idle-up valve delete kit fits 3VZ, 22RE and 1UZ-swapped trucks. The snorkel kit is for the 3.0L V6, and for the 2.4L 22RE four-cylinder with modification.

The other listings fit the 2nd gen 4Runner and name no engine.

Universal parts and gear

These are listed as universal, not vehicle-specific: the onboard air compressors (single with line kit, twin, twin with line kit and Big Yellow), the quad air hose kit, the tire deflator kit, the 53-piece tire plug repair kit, the recovery traction boards, the 3-inch LED pod lights, the MOLLE seat-back organizer, both thermoses (WD-40 and heavy-duty) and the tri-color keytag. The tri-color emblem is listed for any Toyota.

Buying a truck? The 2nd Gen 4Runner Field Inspection Manual is a 22-page PDF for the 1990–1995 Toyota 4Runner, and it covers both the 22R-E and the 3VZ-E.

Questions

What years is the 2nd gen 4Runner?

Model years 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995. The 1996 4Runner is the all-new 3rd generation.

Do the headlights fit a 1990 or 1991 4Runner?

No. Every headlight listing says the same thing: “Does not fit 1990–1991 trucks — the front end changed.” They fit 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995.

Does the TRD Pro-style grille fit a 1990 or 1991?

No. The listing says it fits the facelift front end, 1992–1995, and that 1990–1991 trucks use a different grille opening.

Which parts are for the V6 only?

The intake pipe, the Denso spark plugs, the Denso spark plug wire set and the distributor cap and rotor are for the 3.0L 3VZ-E V6 only. Their listings say they are not for the 2.4L 22RE four-cylinder.

Which distributor cap do I need?

1990–1991 and 1992–1995 trucks use different distributor caps, so you choose your year when you order.

My truck is a 1996 or newer. Is this the right page?

No. The parts in the table are listed for the 1990–1995 2nd gen 4Runner. The 1996–2002 4Runner is the 3rd gen, and our sister site 3G4R Offroad covers that platform.
