    I do collision repair for a living and got to do this fun little project a few years ago. Took a brand new Sequoia and replaced the front end with Tundra bumper, fenders, hood, headlamps and core support (so everything looked factory). Had to move the pedestrian brackets on the fenders as well. Anyone else done one of these?FB_IMG_1578278790905.jpg FB_IMG_1578278793630.jpg

    Seen it a few times, and considered doing it on my wife’s before they came out with a pro grill for it.

    Looks great, the whole Sequndra thing is really cool. Can you share the approximate cost to do the swap?

    We did it 100% to "factory". So no slotted holes, shims or anything like that so after parts it was $5,000+

    Looks awesome! Great job! If someone could figure out a way to match the front and rear fender wells, I'd really start thinking heavily about making this transition!

    All bumper pieces, including mount brackets on the core support, fenders, fender liners, headlamps, hood, hood bulge, grille, fog lamp bezels. You can make it work without cutting off and rewelding fender mounts(pedestrian brackets), and changing the core support but it take extra holes and modifying other things. I know there was a fan that I had to modify to make it work. Hope this helps!

    @PyroTitus I’m looking at doing this for my wife, what years can you do the front end swap on? All Sequoias or certain years?

    This is a great looking mod. I'd like to do the exact same with my 2010 Sequoia SR5 5.7L. Would you be willing to share the actual parts list (part numbers) you used? And what year Tundra were the parts used from?

    Just after I bought my Tundra I saw this listed at a dealership. It was a brand new 2018 Sequioa that had the front swapped to the Tundras and then the buyer fell thru. They were asking 75k for it
