2012 TACOMA FRONT END CONVERSION RG11

Has anyone done this to a timberland mica green taco?

 

So pretty much bottom not supported ? Sure a bracket can be fabbed to secure lower portion.

 

What headlights are these? Thanks!

 

Here is the set I bought.

In case anybody wanted a quick reference guide on what you need to buy with working ebay links, I just put this together today with everything I used on my truck so there's no guarantees the items won't sell out in the future.

Other things you'll need are the clips/nuts to hold the hood scoop bulge on.
You'll also need metal rivets to attach the bumper brackets to the reinforcement.

Also if you want it here is the TRD Pro grille insert - https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-To...lack-Finish-/262670846631?hash=item3d28670aa7

And finally, it's not a requirement and I didn't replace mine, but if you want the fender liners to fit to the bumper properly you'll need these.

Awesome resource, thanks for doing the research mang! Truck looks great

 

Thanks man, always something I wanted to do since I first bought my 07. Your truck looks fantastic

 

I appreciate it! Hope to do this one day on my 09. Would love to see the updated front end with the dark green

 

Thanks for this... Was literally just coming on this thread to ask if anyone had the part number or link for the hood scoop itself.

 

Here is what I am ordering:

Aftermarket steel bumper for 12-15 (ATH fab) (already have it)
Headlights (already have them)
Headlight filler trim
Grill (already have it)
Hood (with scoop and necessary hardware for scoop)
hood latch and hood latch support

Do I need these two things If Im using a steel bumper? Kind of hard to see from fiche:

Thanks 11trd4x4 for the good thread, Ill try and get a pic in here when Im done

 

This goes on your center upper bumper bracket support arm (protrudes out away from Radiator).

If you removed that, you don't need those.

 

You will most likely need both of them, one holds the lower portion of the headlight and one holds the plastic filler that goes under the headlight, I don't know how it would stay in without them. Unless the aftermarket bumper does it differently, It's hard to tell for sure unless you had a pic of your exact bumper already mounted on a truck.

 

anyone have fit issue using aftermarket parts? was looking into this ebay set https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-2012-2...rentrq:5e690c861680ac88e2ce7540ffffd8c2|iid:1

 

Same set I bought on eBay and surprisingly everything fit like factory, which doesn’t happen often in the world of aftermarket parts.

 

This is my next project/major mod.

 

God thread

 

Do you have a insta? Swear I’ve seen this truck somewhere

 

You might have seen it on instagram. It's @myyotaproject

 

When you say I will need the clips/nuts to hold the hood scoop bulge, are you meaning to order the "bumper flare clips", i only lack a hood, grille and headlights. Trying to find out what else i need. Also what size of rivets did you need?

 

No, the bumper flare clips are separate then the clips on the hood scoop, the hood scoop needs 1 orange clip, 2 blue clips, and 4 10mm nuts. I bought my hardware for the hood scoop at the dealership.



As far as rivets I don’t remember the size I used, just something extra I had at the shop, but something like this should work.
