    I'm looking to redo the carpet on my 09 access cab also. Do you have a link or any info where I can find the one you have. Looks great!

    thanks! not really, I had to hunt for months to find this one. 12-15 access cab carpet is pretty hard to come by, double cabs are easier to find. I had to talk to a lot of salvage yards before I finally found one. it cost me 200 shipped, about the cost of the aftermarket alternatives. I got the lids and console with the carpet too.

    what I can do is give you a part number, 58510-04A30-B0, which I couldn't even find before when I was looking for one, but the tag was still on the carpet so I took a pic incase someone asked about it. I searched and it looks like people want about 500 for new oem.

    Awesome build and tastefully done. Could you share where you bought you interior led lights or a link?

    Thanks

    Nice build man. What part of Arkansas you stay? I like your interior swap. I might need to do this as my steering wheel is getting pretty slick from all the white knuckle wheeling I do. Haha

    I actually was really close to pulling the trigger on a 2005 SWB with a wrecked front end to turn it into an offroad-only rig. I wanted to swap on a 2012+ front end and go crazy with it.... it sold before I got a chance to though

    I got some family in Little Rock. Y'all are some dumb red neck fucks. Haha I mean that with respect of coarse ;)

    So you got all your parts used? Because I'm sure places like Rock Auto have anything you need

    yeah being unique for an swb is what makes this worth doing for me. if I just wanted a new front end id have traded for a pro instead heh :eek:

    most of them are used. the hood and headlights are new and half my budget. I just wasn't going to fool with anything aftermarket cause the fitment is never good enough so everything is oem.

    How hard was it to change out the flooring? Been thinking about changing mine to black. Can't wait to see it all finished.

    tanks! :cool:

    not hard at all compared to the other mods ive done. takes a few hours prolly, just disconnect the battery and remove the seats (bolts), center consoles (bolts and clips), pull off the trim panels (all clips) and the thing pulls right out. if you get an oem carpet it slides right in with no fuss, but aftermarket ones will require cutting and fitting and stuff taking more time.
