Here's some shots of the Taco conversion. All parts, but 2 are genuine Toyota. Only the clear corners and black grille is aftermarket.






 
That is a nice rig. Did you do all those mods or just the front end work? The Tacoma front-end definitely makes the 3rd gens stand out. Is that the 4runner bumper on there? I got a buddy that banged up his and I have wondered if my old one would fit his Taco.

1st Thanks.
2nd yes all the mods were done by me except the ADDCO swaybars were done by the PO.
3rd the bumper is a 98 and you can put the 01-04 Taco bumper as well. You just have to find a way to make the e.g. brackets fit the fenders and rear of front bumper
 
How do you like the tundra front setup? I been thinking about upgrading to them when the time comes.
 
When I got the truck, the brakes were bad already. Read about the big brakes upgrade and jumped on it. Brakes work great now and stops on a dime. Had a few times I had to stop very instant because of stupid drivers. Best upgrade besides the lift.
 
I should have been more specific, I actually meant the tundra coils and 5100s? I agree with the brake setup. I did that upgrade myself not too long ago. I just went back and installed some new caliper bolts and blue loctite earlier this week after I had one of mone come out a few weeks ago. Luckily it was a lower bolt otherwise it could have been catastrophic.

Love the LX wheels. What size tires are you running?

Sorry, the whole front is TUNDRA! lol. Yah the coils/struts are way better than the P/O put on and the tires are 265/70R16 A/T. Have some TOYO M/Ts in the same size waiting for the others to get bald. Got it for free so I can't complain.
 
Got me some Genuine Lexus hubcaps(3). Traded with @ScottDavis another mud member. Painted them 2nights ago and put them on yesterday. Now I just need 1 more cap.

Installed HIDs that was given to me free 3 nights ago and installed it that day. Damn these are bright. Kensun is the brand and they don't even use relays.

Painted my front bumper black. Going to black out the whole truck soon.
