04 Tundra - conversion back to the 00-02 bumper

Yes, there are a couple of threads here on the subject.

 

Newbie here. Just picked up an 04 SR5 AC with 68k on it. Pretty stoked about it. Trying to follow this thread and change my front bumper to the older style. Someone added there’s a thread about it. Only found this thread.

Top pic is what I’m looking for. Bottom is mine.

Is this eBay link what I need? Thanks!

Fellow low-mile owner here. Low miles comes with its own nightmares. If you're not aware of what those nightmares are, you should really take a minute to read the first couple replies in this thread.

Welcome to the forum - don't have any input on the bumper.

 

Another Revival here. It can be done. I’ve got an 04 DC and I’ve really wanted to put the 99-02 chrome bumper on. I found a post on marketplace with the same thing done. He just swapped the bumper, not the grill and panel beneath it.

 

That gap between grille/headlights and bumper looks craaazy!

Welcome to the forum!

 

I really need to see more in-depth photos of that because from here the gap looks like shit on that DC

 

The corner lights are for an 05-06 DC, possibly the headlights too.

 

I just noticed how bad the headlight alignment is, now you mention it. Of course, I'm not talking about the hood seam misalignment all DC trucks have, the actual headlight is whack.

The under-headlight "brow" piece is different shaped between the DC and the AC/RC. Maybe they slapped AC headlights in next to the DC corner lights? Either way, headlight looks rotated out of whack. They did a bad job.

I suspect the swap is much easier for AC and RC trucks than it is for DC trucks. At least the lower half of the headlight housing matches so it'll fit the brow correctly.
