2nd Gen to 3rd Gen Interchangeble Parts List - Confirmed

Since there appears to be a number of parts from the 2nd Gen Tacoma's that fit 3rd Gen's, I wanted to compile a quick & clean list so that everyone can reference it faster.

This is a list of parts that are confirmed by either Forum members on this site or Toyota to fit 3rd Gen Tacoma's. Included will be OEM & Aftermarket.

I want to keep this list clean, so If you see an item missing, please PM me so that I can add it. I will also like to include any threads in relation to part along with your forum handle to give credit where its due.

Thanks, tacitos. I did not need any additional hardware to install the bed headrail. Remove the torx bolts that come on the truck and put on the rail. Perfect fit.

Those bolts also hold on the black bed top thing so it will be loose when all the bolts are removed.

Do the drivers seats swap between the two gens?

 

I don't know, but If you find out let me know.

 

"The all new Tacoma is completely new!"

 

Build me a new 1st gen and I'll consider it... not.

I think a lot of people would still like Small Pickups like the 1st gens and the old Rangers. I wish they still made em

 

True, that's what the Honda Ridgeline is for

 

They are not even close to the same size...

 

I like the size of the new "mid size" trucks. When I have a passenger in my gen 1 I am pretty much rubbing elbows at all times.

 

Has anyone installed a 2nd gen bed extender

$275 PT392-35120 Toyota Bed Extender

PT392-35120 into a 3rd gen?

 

I have the part in my garage. I'll post some pics up in a month if my listing is still available. I'll probably install it then.

 

Will Gen 2 receiver "hitch" fit on a Gen 3?

What is the usual time for a reply? I'm new and don't want to be pushy.
