I really like that Tacoma front end... but only on a Tacoma! Gotta give the guy credit for all the hard work, though.:pat:

 

I saw a long travel 2nd gen with a tacoma front. Looked pretty cool, but wasn't nearly as clean looking. It was beat up pretty bad and white.

 

I'll give him credit for be creative, but I dont like it.

 

dont mean to go off topic... but...

im the biggest idiot ever. when i saw surfing, i just automatically pictured you in a wetsuit with a long board taking a pic of something you saw near the beach....


it never occurred to me until tonight that the closest beach is a LONG ways away... and you meant the internet... lol

its been a long week....

 

haha thats my 4runner! and thanks for all the replys about it, wheather they like it or not. btw, it started out as a 96

took me about 2.5 hours to swap and like 350 on all OEM parts (got awesome deals locally). after selling my stock parts, i ended up breaking even.

1 thing i dont like is having the same looking truck everyone sees all day on the road. was going to get 99+ clear headlights and scooped hood, but then ill look like everyone else at the end. i wanted to have a 1 of a kind 4runner noone else has, plus give the 3rd gen a bit of a newer look. from the thumbs up from fellow 4runner/tacomas i see driving to the constant questions by people on the streets asking what kinda truck/year it is, i got the look i was going for. hopefully everything will be painted within a month, new grille and srunner flares is the plan.

 

I think it looks awesome...It would look nice with an arb up front. Any plans for that?

 

Thats what I was thinking too

 

eh, im not sold yet, put some paint on it and i'll think about it

 

I think that it looks good except for the fenders/hood being so tall compared to the rest of the vehicle. Kinda hard to explain, but it looks a bit more bulky from the sides.

 

the stance is a little off because i have a 3" lift in the front, i havnt installed the 3" rear lift yet lol. with the new 32's bfg and installed rear lift, it should look a lot more level., also when i get the flares in. ill keep everyone updated on newer progress

 

Sounds cool. Can't wait for the finished product.

 

i kinda like it too.

 

with a lift and some semi-aggressive tires (AT's?) that thing will look a LOT better!

good work though, very unique.

 

So it sounds like a bolt on mod since it only took 2.5 hours to change over. I guess this means that a Taco could have a 4Runner front too, right?

 

I think that that is really sweet! I love that tacoma front end.

 

Ditto here too.

 

never really cared for that taco front end....but there's something about it being on a 4runner that intrigues me

 

Look at page 4 of that thread guys. LOL

I kinda like the look of it when it was at stock ride height, It would look alot better on a built rig though.

 

I think it looks pretty sick. I'd do it if i had the funds.

 

I think its very cool, I have always looked at the doors on both the 4Runner and the Tacoma and saw that they would line up. If my car ever got wrecked I would think about it, but for now I won't bother.
