05-11 Tacoma Front End Conversion Complete List

Ok so what I just read I can by a front clip from a 12 and put it on the bolt holes match right

 

Thankfully for my wallet I don't see the point in this. It serves no purpose.

 

what size is the light bar on the lower part of the bumper?

 

Yes, everything bolts up, no cutting or welding required.

 

Ok sorry I lied I want 2016 on my 05 is that possible just to bolt it up

 

Just saw your question, no, the 16-20 front end would require extensive modifications on a 2nd gen, the body lines on the door to fender meet completely different on the 16-20 Tacomas. It can and has been done but it comes down to how committed you are haha

 

Thanks for posting this. Just picked up my Taco and am putting together a build sheet. A google search lead me here and I just joined.

 

Welcome to TW! This was the first visual mod. I wanted to do after I bought my truck. I'm not a big fan of the bubbly looking 05-11 front ends.

 

From what I’ve been reading the 11+ headlights have more output. The stock ones on my 06 are faded and yellowed so need replacing. I went from new headlights to new front clip in about an hour haha.

 

You'll go even further with mods if you hangout on TW too long
All good things though!

 

Looks awesome - just bought a '12 and excited to get to work. What tires (+size) do you have on this?

 

My current tires are BFG KM3 33" x 12.5 R17

 

If anyone has a front left fender flare laying around please reach out looking for this guy if you doing the conversion

 

There are several posts listing part numbers. Congrats! Great job! Looks great! Not really complete or accurate though.

 

Thanks, this isn't supposed to be just a row of part numbers though, I want it to be an active purchase list. Can you point out where this list is not correct? These are the exact parts used on the the bolted up front end of my truck and you can't tell me that's not complete or accurate.

 

Are you looking for the flare portion on the fender AND bumper? Because the flare on the fender never gets changed.

 

Hey - wanted to check in here and see how those headlights have been performing for you compared to OEM

 

They don't have an output that's as clean as the OEM, but I'm also running LEDs in halogen housings. I would also recommended running seam seal around the edge of any aftermarket lights you buy.

 

Newbie Question;
To achieve this conversion from a 2006 tacoma x runner to a 2015 front end, do i have to replace the reinforcement bar?

 

The crash bar, yes.
