I was wondering if it were possible to use the grill, headlamps, and bumper from a 2012 or older Tacoma on a 2009 Tacoma? Would it entail swapping the fenders also??

It seems to me that there wasn't a whole truck "redesign" on the 2012+ models, rather a front end "tune-up" on the aesthetics.

Fenders will work fine, but your hood will need to be a '12+

I think someone on here did the exact opposite, and IIRC he had to swap lights, grill, bumper, fenders, hood, and radiator support.
