    How would an FJ clip look on a Tacoma? Has that been done before?

    Would only look okay if you had double stacked light bars in front of the grill and on the cab.

    Judging from that picture, I'd say it would look terrible.

    Lol. Yeah, I'd like to see someone else do it too. Just not my truck, either. Haha. Was bored at work.

    Yes, it would. I like when people dare to do something different, like this pic. I know it's ugly, and sometimes it's just wrong, but it's unique. I like that.

    This is my favorite swap ever. I'm thinking someone has to come up with a face swap on a 2nd Gen Taco at some point.

    My last Honda Civic, 1997 4 door, I swapped a Honda orthia front clip on. Was pretty neat. Strange but cool.

    I should have cleaned up the edges, but you get the idea... Gimp does a much better job on these things than MS Paint did on the FJ/Tacoma.

    That's not horrible looking.

    Looks like it would be a lot of work. I'm gonna do a better one of the FJ/4Runner this weekend. I think if I were gonna actually do a real life conversion, I'd want it to be something that really pops. The average person probably wouldn't even notice this, driving past it.

    Pretty slick looking in the pic. Did they pull over the whole GN driveline too? That would be the only way to do this IMHO.

    Agreed. Go for the 4Runner front clip. That one looked a lot better.
