I want that bumper really badly.
Get some black wheels to match the black grille
Looks awesome btw
I'm actually thinking about painting these TRD style. Did some on my previous runner. Ill post pics let me know what you think
Wheels on previous runner... Thoughts?
Thinking of doing same thing after getting 33's on it. Need help finding a decent used lift. And maybe LC coils for rear. Here's some pics of my previous rims.. Surprisingly got a lot of people interested in them...
As you can see they seen a lot of mud/dirt/snow terrain and never chipped or anything of that sort.

Very nice. I don't like the taco front end on it though but just my opinion. How bad was bending everything back straight in the inner fender. I just ran mine into someone and I have to do some a core support replacement and fix the driver inner fender.
Haha it's definitely something different. It's very detailed work if you haven't done it before or have no experience with that kind of work I wouldn't mess with it.... You can sell it to me

Hmmm I think I can handle it. Already drilled the core support out. I just need measurements to bring the DS inner finder a little forward. If I can't then I know plenty of people who can. I've seen some of the old Mercedes we work on look go as new with the passenger fender in the driver firewall after wreck. (Things people repair and the money spent for sentimental value)
How did you make sure that it was straight and that the front end was back in line with each other? Guess I am asking is how did you make sure the front was square? Do you have any measurements you could share?

OKAY.....that does it, I am buying a 3rd gen just to do this swap. Or I could just send you a check for 2500 and come pick it up...lol

I love these conversions. Has anyone ever seen a 4runner grill on a Tacoma? I wonder how that would look?
That wouldn't work. Way different.
I made sure because all the parts line up with no gaps and perfectly. Pry then try method.
I am getting a diff one

About how much did the Taco conversion run ya? Great work looks great good to hear you're getting another bumper, that one just ruins the look of all the great work you did.

Don't need the radiator support? Very cool upgrade!
