PreRunner to 4x4 Build

Ok good I love that look of tires sticking way out

 

noooo.... well then again guess it depends on how the duramax is can't beat a chevy!

 

Parents ended up saying no... so the yota is staying

 

Where did you get the headlights I wanna do that to mine but dont know how?

 

theretrofitsource.com I believe theres a Group Buy on them on here. Gotta do a retrofit to do it though its not too complicated at all

 

Ok they look badass man nice truck

 

Id be interested in the spacers if you feel inclined to sell them or donate them to a TW'er.

I wanna lift my lil taco but just cant justify the $700 or so to 'do it right' but am afraid if I spend $200 on spacers new I'll regret not putting that toward 'doing it right'

Truck looks good man good job on the 4wd swap...was the electrical side complicated?

 

I could sell you the springs and spacers, and AAL for whatever shipping will be .

As for electrical it's all manual I just wired the light for 4wd and that was simple

 

Thanks man I actually want the 01-04 front end ha

 

Let me know when you get your 5100's in. Thanks

 

I actually went with a set of dirt logic coilovers valved by my buddy instead of billies but I have them now just waiting to take it all off

 

Have you done any research on it? I'm really considering doing it too and was wondering if the 01-04 headlights use the same bolt holes in the radiator support. I would assume it does but haven't found for sure. It looks like the only things needed are a hood, headlights, and a grille. The corners and fenders look the same, unless the corners mount differently due to the grille and headlights.

 

Not really but people have gone from different years, only thing I can see is as long as you have the hood, grille, and fenders youd be alright, may be able to get away with same fenders but the corners are different but the new grille would help with that. Id be willing to trade my retro and body parts for just the front end pieces of an 01-04 ha

 

I don't see how the fenders are different but I keep hearing that. I've been on craigslist trying to find one wrecked in the rear but nothing so far. Might just buy ebay parts. I'm really trying to hold off on my retro because I don't want to put them in my '00 headlights then change to 01-04. I thought about plastidipping the inside of the housing instead of painting that way when I switch to 01-04 I can peel the plastidip and re-sell my '00 housing. I'm just wondering if the plastidip will hold up to the heat of a 35w hid...

 

Yeah there's a guy here with a same color truck as mine with an 01-04 style

 

Just grab some tools and a flashlight and go switch everything over while he's sleeping

 

He really wants some retros so I might see if he wants to do a swap

 

Man I'd be jelly. Not having to paint would be sweet but hopefully it will match since you had your truck repainted. I don't care what color I get. I plan on repainting the whole truck midnight blue after I swap front ends and bob the bed.

 

Just not sure if itll effect my elite any ha shouldnt though
