I spent the weekend converting my Toyota Minitruck to the upgraded Toyota 4Runner Front Conversion / Toyota Surf Front Conversion.

I had been hesitant to do the swap for a long time, with no knowledge on how to do the conversion, so I filmed the process, and made a tutorial with the footage so that hopefully I can help some fellow truckers do the same.

This conversion should be achievable for the Toyota Pickup also, in both 2WD and 4WD models; but double check parts to be sure.

All of the below listed parts are available from both Toyota Surf & Toyota 4 Runners. Note; when you source a radiator support panel, it MUST be from the 'flush headlight' model desired, as some 4 Runners came with the 4x7 box lights from factory also.

For this conversion, you will need :

Radiator Support Panel
Flush Headlights
Grill + Grill Clips (part number 90467-12040 on Ebay)
Bumper Bar + Bumper Bar Brackets (these are vital !)
Lower Apron (+indicators & plugs if they weren't included)
Parker lights + plugs
Front Guards (+ inner splash guards as the 2WD ones won't fit)
Side Indicators + plugs (if indicators weren't included in the guards)
Bonnet (not necessary but there is a bigger bulge in the desired model)
30 x High Tensile 8MM x 30MM Bolts (not if you weld the new support on)
