An update. I was able to source out most parts needed for this conversion or at least the parts I think are needed lol. Next week those parts will come in and I will make a parts list and write up. For those of you wanting to do this, stay tuned and let's make this happen. [emoji38]

Nice job! It looks great! Did you have any issues that you weren’t expecting or was it pretty straight forward?

I was just thinking this. With my winch bumper I could probably figure a way to revert my headlights to the 10-13 style without much trouble.
I just did the swap and have 2010 front end parts from a magnetic grey SR5 if you're interested, you'd just need to get the headlights. Located in San Jose area also!

I'd totally go backwards to a 2010-2013 Trail front end.. Matter of fact that's a future goal methinks.
Had some minor issues including: the 2010 radiator grille support bracket is not at the right height but I managed to use a long screw and washers to build a support for it. headlamp wiring harnesses required some splicing to get the correct receptacle. Ebay'ed it. Also the headlamps have these plastic support pieces that the bumper cover hangs off of which I didn't realize I needed. Trimmed the fender liner on both sides and threw out a ton of underbody plastic. other than that, it was pretty straightforward. Once u get all the pieces off of the car, it's easy to tell what needs to be done. Recommend having a second car
Thank you for the offer but I wouldn't want the hassle of repainting, and I don't like the SR5 front end. Black trail or bust, in exchange for a 2016 black trail front end.
It could be a free mod for both parties too, just meet up and swap parts over the course of a day.

Well, with mine it would be a little more than a swap since my TEP is super white and that was not a color available on the 2010-2013's. So I would have to get it painted to match best as possible before tossing it all together but I suppose the only paint work would be on the actual grill piece and bumper cover.
