Just adding to the 70 series forum...

This will be a fairly original build because I have want to maintain some originality. Mostly a restoration in a way! Cleaned up front end a bit

Sprayed it myself, I think the angle makes it look better than it actually is. Yours is better because chrome is still there, my chrome was chipped so i had no choice

Did you spray that yourself or have it power coated? Looks nice.
Funny thing, I was touching mine up today. Your's turned out way better.

Toyota really forces these DIY projects on the grille. Over $600 bucks for those 3 pieces is totally nuts! LOL. In case anyone cares, I was missing 3 of the 4 backing tabs for the Headlamp Doors (surrounds for the the headlights). Part number for that is: 90467-13005

Wait those are available in the US?!
 
Surprisingly, yes. They must have been used on the Camry at some point. Only $2.50 each, what a steal! I doubt they made any money with that price point.

I'll pick some up thanks!
 
You're welcome! Snug fit, you'll love it! I am hesitant to post this, but the (6) locking nuts on the headlight rims strip out easily. Recommend just getting some 8m stainless hardware at Lowes at 1/10th the price and twice the quality. All six of mine had to be drilled out. Nuts!

Thanks! I just got them wired up today. It is getting dark out now, so I have to go see how I like them. I am really happy with the look, jury out on the performance.
 
Cruising around today. Hoping to get a winch plate made up and mounted behind the oem bumper. Trying to maintain the stock look while having more usable items

I believe there are pleanty of knock off LED headlights that don't require the resistor.
I would look around for true plug and play. No need for more clutter.

Was only saving the thread because it had multiple options

You got the pics of your headlights in action?
 
Currently on the hunt for the oem fender flares as well as the oem jerry can carrier...

Saw the flares here

Just curious, and issues with your rack mounts hitting the "gasket/trim" of your side windows where they mount at the gutter?

Thats not my truck in the photo...I found it online and just posted it so I can reference the flares that I am on the hunt for.
 
Not trying to talk you out of it, if you already have your mind made up, but your rig already looks sweet and doesn't have any rust on the fenders or quarters. I wouldn't change it. Rust seems to love to hind behind those flares.
