    Just got my 07 tacoma back from the dealership today after they installed the new frame under the new extended warranty program from Toyota. Also included in the warranty are all screws and bolts that break that are attached to the frame. As well as new brake lines and new lower control arms. All included for free. Pretty happy with how it turned out, they even cut my new frame and installed the lift for no charge. Basically a new truck underneath now :thumbsup:

    The whole process took a little over a month to complete, but I had a loaner vehicle. All Tacoma’s 2005+ fall under this program!

    It’s a rough country 4” lift in the front with front diff drop and 3” blocks in the rear.

    Amazing man! Looks great! Wish all dealerships did good work like that! How bad was your frame before?

    BTW, also awesome job on front cap! Did my 06 also. What headlight housings do you have, I want some :)

    Is that a 4" driveshaft?

    How much would it cost to rebuild my 2008 into a 2015? I'm currently looking at the parts that are needed.

    To go from 2006 to 2012-2015 front, have a shop completely go over the entire truck and remove all dents and repaint it OEM sand pearl, with me helping doing alot of the parts change labor, cost me about $4,500 all said and done I think, been like 4-5 years, would have to check. But $2,500 of it was strictly paint and body. We took the truck apart before they did paint and body work.

    I just got my truck painted. Look at my roof in the first picture, then look at the second picture.

    In my case, I would only have to buy the parts, and have them painted.

    Greatly appreciate it. I'd still have to finish my initial build plan before I start wondering off into a new 2015 front. I'm planning on a 2 inch lift, with an OEM roof rack, and 2009 LED tail lights.

    Not. I honestly believe the best color is white. My dad bought my truck just because it had 43,000 miles, and was 9 years old.

    I didn't think those came until later, but I gotcha. Taillights I have are from a 2012, but look the same.
