2012 TACOMA FRONT END CONVERSION RG11

I have a 2009 Double Cab Long bed Sport....I have been thinking about doing this swap out and going with the 2015 TRD pro look. I am a little intimidated by it though, not even going to lie about that haha.

 

Meh, mine got whacked so it was a little harder as I had a little debridement to do but it's not rocket surgery, with proper (non water based) paint, and my LED TRS upgrade with the pro grille, I'm like 1700 in, biggest pain is waiting for shipping and paint.

 

Trying to figure out all the small parts I need.

 

What small parts ?

 

Poor choice of words....ALL the parts.

 

Pretty much all in this thread... All over the place ....lol Pretty much in post 1, 4,42,44.46,184,188

 

Haha yeah that's what I mean. Just trying combine what was in OP and what the other guys who have done the trd pro front end upgrade.

 

Gonna be a tough project, at least for me.

 

Once you got all the parts you will be surprised its pretty easy .Remove the old parts put on the new one .

 

Hey!

So i'm looking to grab a 12-15 Pelfrey bumper. What all parts-wise did you need? Hood, lights, grille and the mounting brackets for the lights? I'm seeing a few different answers in this post.

 

You need everything for the conversion except the factory bumper and crash bar and bumper mounting brackets.

 

I have ordered a white hood, paint matched grill, and bumper off of a 2015. I'm noticing that the super white form the newer truck is a lot whiter than my 2005, did you notice a big difference in paint colors. My 2005 has always been garaged, cleaned almost weekly, I'm just not sure how there is such a noticeable discrepancy in paint?

 

My hood is also very white compared to the factory paint but it's normal. Your paint will rarely perfectly match. Best bet is to either do a full detail on your truck (buff and seal) which is what I will be doing next week or blend the hood into your fenders so it all matches.

 

Oh my dear lord, I am in love with this truck! ​

 

Thank yah thank yah getting the bumper powder coated next week along with some other goodies!!

 

Ive got a LOT of questions for you haha
