Taco/Runner

I love Tacoma fronts.

2nd was adapting the 4runner Limited flares to the Tacoma fenders. The Tacoma fenders have a higher arch than the 4runner. I used the 4runner wheel well plastics.

How'd you tackle this?

 

[busmup808]

My kids did the swap. My 2 girls (20&19) & my 16 yr old son. I was just the supervisor

Here's what parts I used:

GENUINE TOYOTA Tacoma hood
GENUINE TOYOTA Tacoma hood mounts
GENUINE TOYOTA Tacoma fenders
GENUINE TOYOTA 4runner Limited flares
GENUINE TOYOTA Tacoma radiator core support
GENUINE TOYOTA Tacoma hood latch
AFTERMARKET CLEAR Tacoma marker lamps
GENUINE TOYOTA Tacoma headlamps
AFTERMARKET BLACK Tacoma grille
GENUINE TOYOTA 4runner bumper

Does that mean you don't know how they mounted the flares?

 

[busmup808]

I did the flares. I had two extra fenders that were busted up from the junkyard. Cut the bottom half off to used as mock up. Then placed against the Tacoma fenders for template. Cut holes for clips and there is the end result.

F*ck, what a great idea.

 

[busmup808]

Thanks for the comment. Was just going to drill holes and zip tie.

Did this today

Before

After

 

[busmup808]

Installed a fog light stalk from the same Lexus ES300. Didn't wire it up yet for the fog lights.

Also my cheap phone accessory charger died so I replaced the whole lighter with a Blue Seas USB charger

When I bought my runner it had some flaws. This was 1 of the major. The PO put duck tape over the ripping leather.

I found this at the junkyard today

Look what was on the side of the chair

Even though it's hot in WA right now, I tested out the seat heater and it worked great. Not bad for 40 bucks. Even though it's only the drivers seat, it's Ok. My wife and son wants 1 on the passenger side now.

"Hot" which is cold for most of the country. Lol. Not raining is a better description.

Runner is looking sick!

Your very correct, but it's is hot when the sun is out! Once the clouds cover the sun, it's back to A/C outside.

Changed to Black grille again & Black chrome Lexus badge from the ES300

Also changed the rear badges to Lexus also from the ES300

Old sombrero off & new Lexus on

In the 2nd picture above you can't see the Black chrome LEXUS badge on the lower right, but here's a close up

Taco Runner Lexus LX450 rims. Completed my Lexus theme. Gave it a bath.

I'm confused. Do you have a Lexus, a Tacoma, or a 4runner now? Or is it a tacrunus?
