05-11 Tacoma Front End Conversion Complete List

Your truck looks soo good, I love it. I never thought id spend the money to do this swap but I have been slowly currently collecting the parts to do this swap on my 05. I recently found a non scoop hood, already had the grill and insert, ordered a set of Pro headlights. I just need to find a bumper and get all the parts for behind the bumper. If all goes well ill get it done this spring or summer.

 

Heck yeah, thanks! Post it up when you finish.

 

I've seen a lot of trucks have the conversion done, but for some reason your truck just looks 10 times better than most.

 

Hey Adrian, I would like to talk to you more about this, I have an 07 Tacoma. If you can reach out to me I would really appreciate it man. My number is 4698593936, I’m legit and am looking forward to trying to get this done on mine.

 

Nice work

 

Just post here like the rest of us. Literally every single piece of information you need is here.

 

Feel free to PM me on TW anytime with your questions

 

Hey man! I have a custom bumper, do you know what I wouldn’t need?

 

Clean setup man, you won’t need any of the lower bumper brackets or reinforcement and no bumper and flare end caps obviously. You still need the upper brackets to hold the grille and headlight fillers.


I’m not 100% sure how your new grille will fit up with your 05-11 aftermarket bumper though. I’m looking at this body line. You can see it’s flat across on your truck
and on the 12-15 front end it dips down.

 

Appreciate it man! Yeah I took a look too… May need a new bumper just for the front end swap

 

Also while I’m at it, do you like your KM3s, thinking I’m gonna get some

 

They've been great so far, I like them enough I'm on my second set. For mud tires they are quiet.

 

Man that truck looks so sick. You mind giving the specs of wheels and sizes and lift, etc? I want to build mine like that but I'm having trouble finding some good specs for wheels to look aggressive and have good poke. Are you running spacers? And also did you re gear your truck?
Thanks man

 

Thanks man, I've posted this before on TW but I'll post it again here.

My setup has been pieced together over time. I estimate about 6'' lift in the front and 3-4'' in the rear on my truck.


This is the lift that was on the front of my truck when I bought it.

I replaced the coil-overs and added an extra 2'' in the front with this set.

Here is the lift I have in the rear. Here are the 17'' by 8.5'' wheels I have, they allow the KM3 tires to poke out a little without using spacers.

The KM3 tires are 33” x 12”

I haven't re-geared yet, but I plan on it in the future.

 

Nice work on this OP! Saved for future reference. (I'm actually headed back down to Charleston this week too, but not bringing the taco this time)

 

Appreciate it man, I’m still enjoying the front end swap years later. Come and enjoy the warmer Charleston weather. Haha we’re actually chillin by the pool this weekend.

 

Got an instagram I can follow @?

 

I don't post my truck often, but I am more likely to add it to my IG story. It’s @adriankurtz

 

so on your list, it says that the hood latch is from works for 11-16. So would I need to change out the hood latch and support if I have a 2011?
