    Hey guys I thought this was interesting someone actually pulled off the conversion, thoughts? I know we had Photoshopping with this before.

    Looks like it's a 2nd gen conversion tho

    I love it. I'd have paid a lot more for a '16 TRD OR with a 4Runner Trail front clip. It's just better looking...

    Interesting...

    I never really liked that front end on the 4runner, but it definitely looks good here. Although I'm not sure how much of that is thanks to those massive flared fenders.

    Looks like a lot of custom trimming / bracket fab to get the fiberglass fenders to line up with the 4Runner lights and bumper cover.

    The rear is weird as hell though. If I do it, I'm doing the 2016 Tacoma tails. Maybe it will grow on me

    The rear reminds me of the old Tundra stepsides. Not good looking at all.

    I dig the front.

    The rear looks hideous on the tacoma. Looks fine on the T4R

    I think the 4Runner front end looks a lot better than the 3rd gen Taco's.
