PreRunner to 4x4 Build

Someone with a silver 01-04 front end trade me hoods, grills, lights and fenders.... Straight ill give you the retrofitted headlights

 

I've been wanting to do the front end swap too. Secretly wish a dear would run out in front of me and insurance could help with the swap lol. Is that bad?

 

Not at all haha

 

Dude, I have eibachs in the mail, and 5100s & an Icon AAL sitting in my garage! Pretty stoked to install once the springs are in. your truck will be filthy once you get those. heads up, toytech finally has eibachs in stock again. THey been on back order for the past little while.

 

did you order all of it from toytec ? prolly gonna get the eibachs from them then the 5100 from DSM and im doing the OMD leaf mod instead of aal. Was gonna order the Icon mt setup but got some college to pay for ha

 

Haha I too am in the process of balancing student loans and trying to put my tacoma together. I feel you man. I only got the eibachs from toytech. Got the Bilsteans last month from wheelers, but probably shoulda gone with DSM. Then I got the Icon Progressive AAL from Intense Motorsport Maui. They had just got a shipment in. just buying things little by little. Did you retrofit your own lights?

 

Yeah about to order it all in the next week or so, and yeah I did my own retro with TRS Mini D2S 35W 6k

 

Its the little things haha got some stock mudflaps if anyone wants em

 

had to rub it in huh

 

Like to show off my work

 

Looking good, thanks for the help on the bumper paint btw

 

Thanks man and no problem let me know how it comes out

 

Yeah man , turned out really good, I got a pic of it in my signature , I like the blacked out look,

 

Looks good man

 

Do you got a write up on that bumper?

 

What an awesome oxymoron.

 

Nope but I can tell you the steps haha

1. Wash entire bumper and let completely dry
2. Sand down chrome and plastic if you wish
3. Re wash and let dry
4. Apply primer 2-3 good coats of decent primer I used rustoleoum. Let dry
5. Apply 3-5 coats of whatever paint you desire letting each coat dry for At least 15 minutes.
6. Take pictures and post it on TW

 

I feel like only fellow smart tacoma owners will ever understand it

 

True!

 

Got my windows re tinted went with 20% on the front so lets hope no more tickets
