The body's are exacly the same. It should be a direct swap.

I thought 89 was when they changed the body style. Is that what you mean by thick window frames?

Should bolt right up like they were saying......whats cool about the 1990 Runner was that it was the only year the made that new body style in a 2 Door. I have only seen a few running around.
