*NOTE: If you’re on a budget and/or want to cut corners you do not need the steel bumper components and fender liners. The support arms are different and they attach to the new fender liners for more support. If you do not get the new fender liners you will have to find a way to tuck them in or zip tie them.

How's it going everyone! I've been thinking about doing this for about a year and I finally got around to it. I took pictures of the progress, but as I started thinking about how to post this thread I realize I didn't take enough. I will post what I have already and when I get some time I will pull my front end apart for better pics. The conversion is not hard at all! well, once you know what parts you need. I don't know much on mechanical repairs, but I can do basic stuff and this was pretty much remove and replace. Zach Fuller on the Facebook forum really helped me out a lot I wish I had got with him sooner because I ordered some parts that I didn't need, a little bit of trial and error. I not sure the exact amount that I paid, but it was 2k and some change. I ordered the big items like hood, bumper cover, grille upper and lower, and spoilers from the dealer (I was suprised they weren't that expensive vs. ordering online where shipping would kill me), lights from Amazon, and the little things I ordered from toyotaonlineparts.com. I'm sure if I took the time to look around or got aftermarket parts I would've saved some money.

This is my first write so bear with me! Here are the parts that you need (if I missed anything please let me know):

a little over 2k. i dont have much time because of work so i didnt really look around plus it hasnt been painted yet.....

 

[devan08]

and the end of it all the only piece i didn't install (to my knowledge) was the lock support. the conversion holds up fine it just needs to be painted.

 

[devan08]

God damn it makes me wanna do the conversion so bad. So sexy in swb.

 

[HAMHAWK_JAY]

Damn nice

 

[xrgilly]

Cool looking even if it's not a true xrunner. (Swb one)

 

[sonic555u]

Oh man this looks so good for over 2k vs buying a 30,000 dollar newer x-runner I think its worth it. I really wish someone can do this for me knowing they would do it right cause it does look like a a lot crap to deal with for it to come out right.

its not as bad as you think plus i didn't include all of the parts i ordered that i didn't need to begin with.

 

[sonic555u]

Well thank you for posting the parts we need it would really save us time and money. Its just that my truck been to 5 different bodyshops over the years and they all have done a bad job at this point I trust no one and I know my skill level aint that good when it comes to body work.

 

[babrown0475]

Thanks for posting this! My girl smashed my front end, so I want to do the conversion. This will save me a ton of time and the need to guess which parts I'll need to get.

 

[gbxrunner]

Thanks a lot, it help me make the conversion easy...

 

[walkinX]

Great to see that sweet conversion, along with all the necessary details.

 

[devan08]
