    Does anyone have information about a front end conversion from an 02 Tacoma to a new 05+ Tacoma front. I love the looks of the fiberwerx one but i don't plan on doing LT anytime in the close future which looks ridiculous to have stockish travel with LT fenders imo. I tried the search function but couldn't find anything without spending all night.
    Thanks in advance!

    It's still technically a 1st gen! You can't tell me you like the 1st gen highlights...

    If you want the look of second generation then buy one! I like the first gens looks because it is a first ten Tacoma! Why ruin such a good looking truck?

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I think that I'll go with the fiberwerx front clip conversion when I SAS my rig. But until then I still have the best looking first gen front end (95-97). :D Don't buy a second gen if you want the look, cause then you have all the second gen garbage like switch controlled 4WD and a bigger body (although not a huge difference), along with way to much computer controlled stuff.

    Don't get me wrong I like the second gens (and will try to buy one eventually as a DD) but they cost too much to wheel like I wheel my junk. I wanna actually see a member with this clip conversion so go for it, it'll look great with even a minor lift.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    First of all, this
    And this. Should buy fenders that conform to the 1st gen's look imo. First gens are way better looking trucks by a long shot.
