2004 4Runner sport hood on a 2004 Tacoma?

Hi everyone,

Just joined the site. Looks like a lot of great info.

This is my 3rd Tacoma. 1994, 1998 and 2004. All black, all 4x4, all std shift.

I'm trying to get the sport hood for my 2004 Tacoma. Has anyone taken a sport hood from a different model and/or year an put it on your 04?

I don't mind ordering from Toyota at full retail, I just want to make sure it will fit correctly.

Thanks,

 

They didn't start making the TRD Sport until 2005

 

he's talking about this:


Im not sure if it will fit. Maybe ask the dealer?

 

I was thinkin the same thing but im not sure if it would fit they are a little different. They look really close. This is a 2002 4runner sport.

 

Thats what i was thinking to. Maybe look for one at a junkyard. The chances of finding one with a good front end is slim to none though.

 

It wont fit unless you swap the fenders, core support, grill, bumper, headlights, and all

you can get a glassworks hood or hack up the 4runner hood and have it grafted to your current hood

2005+ scoop in a 99 steel hood?

 

Wow, you guys are fast. I am speaking with my dealer, but wanted to get some other opinions.

If I have to change fenders, grill, etc, I'll probably just leave it as it is, but I'll see what happens. Thanks again for the responses. Very helpful

 

who was it who glassed the scoop on his hood?it was a red taco. you will have to swap out the hood fenders and radiator support.my friend did it on his 2000 4runner.

 

This was a wrecked Xrunner hood that was cut up and the scoop welded into a steel 99 hood. it came out sweet and ended up running about 450 for the work plus the 99 hood. not much different than the glassworks hood

I had a glassworks hood on that truck earlier and the hood latch pulled out of the hood and it flew up at 60 mph

I ditched it and went this route instead

I miss that truck

Thanks Justin,

I'll show my ignorance of welding and custom fabricating now.

You're saying it's possible to take a 4runner hood, cut out the scoop and have it welded onto my 2004 hood? And it looks that nice?

I'll get a hood, one way or another. I just need a fabricating/welding artist to make it look this good. Wow.

Thanks

 

yes anything is possible

here are some of the progression shots

 

its all taco suspension.paint is a little much.i painted it twice but just the base blue/purple color.

 

Excellent. Can you guys make a recommendation for a shop or two that can pull this off?

Thanks

 

its not super complicated, you just need to make sure they get it all lined up

I want a scooped hood but I don't like the glassworks hood, any other suggestions

 

here you go this hood was grafted on off of an 05 an up tacoma
