    I’m looking to do the opposite of what you’re planning, and hope to swap a HiLux front end onto my Tacoma.

    The process shouldn’t be too different from what is required of drivers of earlier Tacomas that update to the ’01-04 look, 4Runner front end, or 4Runner owners that go to the Tacoma front clip.

    If you are planning on modifying your existing radiator support, as well as fabricating your own brackets and such, these are the parts you’d need. (Toyota OEM part numbers are followed by aftermarket part numbers in brackets)

    Hood/Bonnet
    53301-04051 [TO1230133]

    Seal, Hood to Grille
    53381-AD010

    Fender/Wing, RH
    53386-20020 [TO1241180]

    Fender/Wing, LH
    53385-20020 [TO1240180]

    Grille, Radiator
    Grey: 53100-04230 [TO1200250]
    Chrome: 53100-04240 [TO1200248]

    Headlamp Assy, RH
    81110-04110 [TO2503136]

    Headlamp Assy, LH
    81150-04410 [TO2502136]

    Lamp Assy, Parking & Clearance, RH
    Grey: 81610-04070 [TO2521160]
    Chrome: 81610-04080 [TO2521161]

    Lamp Assy, Parking & Clearance, LH
    Grey: 81620-04070 [TO2520160]
    Chrome: 81620-04080 [TO2520161]

    Filler, Front Bumper, RH
    52512-35050 [TO1089108]

    Filler, Front Bumper, LH
    52513-35060 [TO1088108]

    Bar, Front Bumper
    Grey: 52101-AD020 [TO1002175)
    Chrome: 52101-AD030 [TO1002174]

    Cover, Front Bumper Upper Filler
    52119-AD010 [TO1087112]

    Valance Panel
    Base 2WD: 53901-AD010 [TO1095131]
    PreRunner & 4x4: 53901-AD030 [TO1095196]

    Lamp Assy, Front Turn Signal, RH
    81510-04080 [TO2531140]

    Lamp Assy, Front Turn Signal, LH
    81520-04080 [TO2530140]

    If you want to swap in the Tacoma radiator support, along with all of the brackets, here are the remaining parts.

    Support Sub-Assy, Radiator
    53201-04081 [TO1225230]

    Liner, Front Fender, RH
    53875-04050 [TO1249117]

    Liner, Front Fender, LH
    53875-04060 [TO1248117]

    Brace Sub-Assy, Fender Apron, RH
    53705-35020 [TO1245102]

    Brace Sub-Assy, Fender Apron, LH
    53706-35010 [TO1234102]

    52145-AD010 [TO1067138]

    Bracket, Front Bumper Side Mounting, LH
    52146-AD010 [TO1066138]

    The part numbers for the following components differ from those on your HiLux, but the parts may be essentially the same.

    Hinge Assy, Hood, RH
    53410-35010 [TO1236141]

    Hinge Assy, Hood, LH
    53420-35010 [TO1236142]

    Lock Assy, Hood
    53510-35180 [TO1234125]

    Support, Radiator, Lock Support (same part number shared with 4Runner/HiLux Surf)
    53217-35020 [TO1225211]

    I didn’t include part numbers for nuts, bolts, plastic clips, etc.
