Let us know your thoughts in converting a 2nd Gen Tacoma into a 3rd gen. Comment down below👇🏼
I like them all! But would you pick the Tacoma over a F150?
Looks amazing, any links to the kit and parts?
I would love to have this conversion for my 1984 !
Can you make it happen?
Hey man is there some way you can add a link for that McNeal tube for the conversion on the grill
@@nelsonwildish7647I’ve been looking for it like crazy 🤦🏻♂️
Got my first ever Truck, and First Tacoma, Army green TRD off Road. In Large part to this channel. Just installed sprint booster. Can't wait to slowly upgrade it to make it a Beast.
Having that rad of a truck and all those tools in Mexico would freak me out night and day, but can say he’s got it figured out. Sick truck! 🤙🏼
It’s actually sick that you can just change the truck from generation to generation 🔥
The cab is the same from 2nd to 3rd gen. I just found out truck bed isn’t welded or one piece. The sides are bolted on like fenders.
The earlier Toyota trucks can be modded and converted to different years. I've seen 94's with first gen Tacoma front end and bed. It fit perfect and looks badass
I just picked up an 07 TRD 4x4 6 speed manual and love it. I love the way the 2015 n up look but those 3.5’s are so damn so unlike the 4.0’s so I went with one. Definitely gonna do this type of conversion
how'd that go for ye
Once my 3rd generation Tacoma is paid off I will be researching on the parts for the previous model.
10:05-10:12 this truck can even unplug your unused appliances!
TacomaBeast Your nothing like other youtubers you changed my life with my Tacoma like other Tacoma youtubers are good still but you amazing
You have an ig? I wanna see your rig
Can’t wait to see Scott send it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm interested in the beams. gonna have to look into that
Any links for that McNeil bracket for the front end swap? Can’t find it anywhere.
Did you see his welding bead-- Holy shi#$## that was amazing!! That is a master welding!! WOW, he is a master fabricator in all disciplines!
Nice!!! The footage at the end was sick!
I never even imagined this possible haha, amazing!
Was that a upgrade LS2 motor in the beast? Can u ref and make it legal in Cali?
How did he get the DLR's and Sequenchle turn signals to Work with being wired to the 2nd Gen's wires??
3:45 The More Welds you Add to Something, It gets more annelid and weaker over time. Best to have it Heat Treated or Start from Scratch. Or Chase cracks indefinitely. The more you make one spot stronger, somewhere close something is getting weaker. Heat Affected Zone.
Dude same. I have always wanted to build a prerunner and got into overlanding first
Definition of built not bought 🤘🏽
such a badass build!
that one is pretty cool man love this conversion
We are glad you liked it!
Love this! Please share links for the upgrade Tacoma parts and also those copper Allen bolts too! Thank you in advance!
Dope video. Do you guys have the link for the front McNeil bar?
Nice. About to order a kit🙌🏾 Where can I find those bolts you used?
Type "Dress Up Bolts" into Google.
He looks a lot like Whistlindiesel 🤣
😂
bought a wrecked tacoma, the front end is smashed. i'll need to replace the headlights grill bumper and front right fender. love this conversion, i live in canada hard to get stuff up here.
i want to put a pre-runner bumper "baja" bumper, that "steel" mounting bracket for the bottom of the headlights where do i find it and what's it called?
Hey man so I have a 2014 tacoma which is 2nd gen so your guys are saying a 3rd gen grill fits fine into a 2nd gen? I want to upgrade from my stock 2014 front grill to a 3rd gen 2020 grill not the TRD grill either. Thank you!
Third gen grills only fit in the second gen if you replace the front to match the third gen, so you would have to replace the fenders and the hood as well for it to match🤙
Wow, mind blown! Any recommendations on who might be able to do a conversion like this for me in Socal? I have a 2nd gen as well
Take it to Mexico, they should be able to do a miracle for you 😂
McNeil Racing Inc. i'm currently working on mine right now. almost done.
Where can I get the conversion parts?
So is this gonna be a kit available to everyone? Cuz I would love to do that to mine😁
Yes the plan is to have this kit available at TacomaBeast.com
@@tacomabeast when?
@@charlyseitz3831 cost will be $25,000 or higher. 🤦♂️
Where was this filmed at? Like at the end with the ocean in the background. I have to visit it?
Baja California!
Is the hood a necessary replacement piece? It looks very close to my 2012 TRD, thanks!
Did the bedsides line up with the stock mounting locations as well?
Yep
That is 1 badass truck!!🔥🔥
Lets goo been waiting for this
Estas bien chingon!!! What better place to have this beautiful truck, then Mexcio, all dirt road..
That's one thing I like about the 3rd gen. The front end. Looks meaner.
Toopid
question, what kind of lift is best? i’m looking for a 2 inch lift but don’t know what kind is best and don’t know what will ruin or help with the longevity of a tacoma. any suggestions?
Hey man. How where can I order the kit to do the conversion? I have a 2nd gen in South America.
It’s not a kit but we could definitely send you links on the different products he used to convert it, it was honestly the fenders, lights and grille that changed, but he also had already done the cutting necessary for the bumpers and all that. Shoot us an email at pedro@tacomabeast.com and we’ll give you some more resources to do this 🤙
Hey Scott needs some hood struts.
He really does need some hood struts. HAHAHA
Nice one bro
Can i have a link for fenders please
Does the conversion only work with McNeil fenders or would it work with stock 3rd gen fenders too?
It would also work with stock fenders.
Do you think he still has the warranty on his Tacoma??
i just love the color and the so powerfull amazing
What horns did he have?
They are from a Subaru
Hella Horns.
I really need everyone's opinions. I recently got a 2011 Taco PreRunner TRD. I'm debating if I should start modifying it. However, it's a 2WD, I'm not sure if I should just go ahead and modify or keep using it as stock and save up to later upgrade 4WD. What do you think?
Hey JD! it honestly depends on what you'll be using your taco for, if you plan on taking it to trails and offroading you will definitely be safer with a 4wd! if you have any more specific questions feel free to contact our support team at support@tacomabeast.com
@@tacomabeast well that was the plan lol, going offroading only basic and beginner areas
What year is this Tacoma?
I just wanna know what the heck kind of axle does he have in the front?
I want to see a 3rd gen engine swap. Like a 2020 Tacoma with a V8
I can’t find a video online anywhere, but it’s be totally rad man!! 🤙🏼
Hell yeah!
Anyway I could PM you and ask a couple questions about this?
I believe the owners Instagram should be in the description
My next mode. For next year
Rad build
What size tires?? And wheels
17" wheels and 37" tires
wow i love it
Nice
Turd Gen ---- Lol sick build, this guy knows his shit
Should have put a Ford Ranger look to the truck. Really confuse everyone.
That's fucking sick!
You don't turn on a truck..you start a truck
No lie but he just looked like Castile from supernatural?
why must you hurt me in this way
I swear to God the Tacoma is to pickup trucks what the Ruger 1022 is to rifles...
At this point he is just taking the fenders and hood off and replacing them. All the "how to" was already done. Not really seeing how it is done. He is a master welder
Why would you want to ruin your nice second gen by turning it into a third gen
Pura baja Sur!
Is it me or does this guy look like Wee-Man from Jackass?
Noooo plz
You Dont like the idea of being able to convert the truck?
Uff!!
No hate but I think it would have been slightly more easier to just buy a 3rd gen instead
This guy looks like he should be in prison
2nd gen poser! Lol
