    This looks great. Care to share details? Did you just fab up a cover and then throw some bolt type leds in?

    Swapping the front end of my 01 over to the older Tacoma, using a hood, grille, and hood latch from a 98.


    And installed some 7” round heated Truck-lite LED’s using 1980 Toyota pickup truck buckets. I’ll be cutting and welding an aluminum fill plate, then powder coat if black to match the grille. The light output is great.

    Badass. I do like the old school roll bar with lights better than the new light bars over the cab.

    Your truck looks great!! I think you need to white out the letters on your tires and it give that definite 80's vibe.
