    You should order this grill. It is the TRD Pro Grill insert
    $429 PTR54-35150 Toyota Grille - PTR54-35150
    PTR54-35150. We just ordered this for one of the guys at work and it looks great on his 14 Taco. Your truck came out great. I actually thought about trying that with a 13 Tundra and putting the 14 front end on but decided to buy a 14 instead.

    This suspension rebuild was my latest project.

    Not sure whats next. My :ballchain: asks me every time, "what else could you possibly do?" She has no idea does she??? :crapstorm:

    Steve wanted to add some info and pics .Yours and the other 2 members info made the conversion easy.
    First the side bumper side supports was the same on my 2010 so didn't have to replace .Also hood latch can be made to work as new one only has a longer bottom arm. And member here that I picked up bumper and parts from gave me lower fender linner that he cut for off road bumpers. I screwed top to my old one and bolted and clipped bottom part on.

    Hey Steve,
    So I decided not to do the transformation on my Tacoma. So if you know of anyone needing the circled parts, let me know. Everything else is almost gone with the exception of the headlight covers. I know you've got to be one of a few fielding out questions. Truck still looks good brother.

    I'm considering ordering the sport hood for my truck but I'm on the fence about OEM or an aftermarket hood. Based on your experience would you do aftermarket again? How is the fit and overall quality of the hood?

    The aftermarket hood fits perfect. You can't tell the diff. And I had it shipped for way less than oem. I'm thinking it was about $220 shipped. I'd have to look it up. But it was way less.
    OEM is good for some parts. Maybe things that support or wear items. But for body panels, I see no reason to pay that much. If I would have had to go all oem, I almost certainly wouldn't have done it.

    Some shots of the filler support brackets (52531-04010) and the upper retainer fasteners, (little white clips). Hard to see but hope it helps.
