2nd gen Tacoma with thoughts of 2013 parts

Hello,
I am new to the site and new to the Tacoma world. I jus recently bought a wrecked 2009 double cab 4x4 Tacoma. It's been lightly hit in the front end. I was wondering if anybody has tried or new anybody who has put 2013 hood, fenders, head lights, grille, and bumper on a older one? Or if its even possible?? Also I was wondering if you have to change the fenders for the new head lights to fit. I'm just curious to know what all changed in the new look, wether it is jus the front cap or if the rear is different. I called my local Toyota dealership and they couldn't tell me what had changed.. If any body has any input it would greatly appreciated.

 

There have been a few people do a conversion, it gets expensive if you buy the parts from the factory but cheaper if you pull the parts from a totaled taco.

I attempted a conversion on my 11 at one point, you will need the hood, headlights, grill, bumper and the plastic retainers (the small pieces above the bumper but below the headlights)

 

Search members for RAD. Don't know if that is his exact username, but it should turn up some things.

 

Yeah, if I remember correctly, he's the one that had Burt do his retros.

So the 09 fenders will work with the new front cap? I noticed the headlights are different so I wasn't sure how different.

 

Also was there any changes to the rear bumper or anything else? And I haven't seen a 13" model with the hood scoop. Is it a option..?

 

Not sure if there is any differences from rear bumpers but I do know that vendors make aftermarket rear bumpers for 12+ also there are plenty of 12-13s with skewps. fenders stayed the same.

 

yes and only the part closest to the grille is different

Look at my sig pic.. looks exactly the same

Edit: Rear bumpers are exactly the same as well

 

Ok thanks for the help, fixing to start looking for parts.

 

Ill have a SW bumper with fogs this summer if you wanna pay shipping, I also have a spare 12 grill if you wanna make an offer

 

Good luck! you should post some pics of your work would be nice to see.

 

what is a sw bumper? and is the grille paintable?

 

Super white lol and yes.. sand it down and paint it whatever color you want

 

i will post pics when the truck gets here wrecked and as it comes together!

 

how much for both? and is the grille sw?

 

$175 or offer for bumper plus fogs and $95 for grill plus shipping. And yes it is but it could be painted again

 

well luckily the truck is white. is there any issues with the grille and bumper? broken tabs or paint issues? pm me with a contact and il text you.

If anybody else has headlights the retainer or a hood with scoop il be in the market for them....
