    so we got a 09 Tacoma a while back for our shop truck but always loved the look of a 12-15 front end. Luckily some of our Tacoma friends let us know that we can just convert it and that's what we are doing. Here are some pictures of the body work for now, we should have everything done this weekend.

    Primed the front bumper for paint

    Painted and cleared front bumper. The shelfs in the pic is our junk yard, random lights we keep for parts

    Hood unfortunately came in damaged so instead of returning it and going through that hassle we are just going to do minor body work and get it to the paint booth.

    The swap so very easy! We missed some parts on order so we have to order up some support brackets but for now the truck is done. Just couple of more parts to finish up
