Hoods

Wondering if I got ripped
Can anyone post pics of the differences between a 2008/9 hood with scoop and 2012 hood with scoop
If I got ripped then I’ll have one for sale
Thanks so much

 

I do believe 2012 started the third GEN style hood here is a picture of a 2012 hood with scoop

 

The silver truck is my old 2005 you can see a difference in the grill and the hood

 

Here’s a real bastard combination a 2006 pre runner with scoop from a 2008 but seriously I thought it looked ok. I had to replace standard hood because of hail damage. When I sold it last summer the new owner got a great truck that has gone up in value.

 

hmm, perplexed. Thanks for pics, I see the differences. My problem is how do I tell what year is the one I just picked up. It's used, great shape, no scoop insert. Now I'm thinking I may need measurements of hood scoop for both so I can compare to the one I have.

 

does the 2012 scoop seem flatter than the 2009?

 

I believe so

 

But just an FYI
I have a 2011, and looking to buy/trade for a sport hood. I have a NON scoop hood now and want a scoop
If ya hear anything for the northeast area. Ping me

 

Hey Geeves77
Could you take a pic of the underside of ur hood (framing) I believe this will answer my question
Looks like the framing is different from 2009 to 2012
Thanks

 

never mind I just re read that you have a '11.
Anyone else with a 2012 wanna post pic of hood ribbing. Thanks.

 

Did you try fitting it on your truck? That would give you an answer...

 

you could do a 2012+ conversion on the front of your truck to match the hood. The fenders are the same. You would just need a grill, headlights, and the support brackets. And a bumper if your truck is stock

 

This would involve work . . . No not yet
Was doing research with all my tacomites first. Looks like the frame ribbing on underside is key to my answer
Think I might just have the correct hood

 

Its like 4 bolts, you could have an answer in less than 10 minutes.

 

I'm confused, did you buy the hood or just the scoop?
The hoods are quite different between the 05-11 and 12-15.

 

I got scooped hood but need to buy the scoop inserts.
I would do a trial fit but its cold and now wet with snow coming, life in the great North East.
As I mentioned, I think the key identifier on a 2012 and up hood is the ribbing formation on the underside.
The hood I picked up has the X formed sections as opposed to straight ribbing that I think is on the 2012 hood.
Really appreciate everyone's help/thoughts with this

 

Here's my '05:

I am looking for a scooped hood for my 07 but contemplating the 2.5 conversion!

This is what I have found. First pic is 08 to 2011. Second pic is 2012 to 15.
Luckily the hood I picked up is of the first variety, which will fit my 08. So I'm good to go, all I need is the inserts.
