    Hey everyone! So lately I've been planning a front end, I guess sorta rebuild? Basically, the truck had two front end collisions before I got it. They didn't do bad at the repairs, just a few things I want to replace.
    1. Front frame cross member- this part the skid plate attaches to, it's bent to hell, and causes me to consistently mess up threads while removing/installing the skid plate, because everything is out of alignment.
    2. The bumper and cover sits kinda loose, like there's a mount bolt or two missing. I'm gonna replace the bumper since the chrome trim mounts are all broken.
    3. I acquired both fenders and a hood from a same colored tundra for cheap, I plan on replacing those, which leads me to the next part...
    4. Headlights. The outside of the headlights sit too far in, like a part of the mount structure is jacked up.
    5. I have a new water pump and belt, and I'm considering replacing the radiator, trans cooler, and t stat with housing if I do this, since there'll be plenty of space.
    6. Possible power steering hose replacement?
    >>>
    Okay since all of that mouthful is done, I have a few questions.
    -The headlights sitting crooked, what parts can I replace that are involved in the headlight mounting? I wanna replace the housings again but not mess these up due to the misaligned mounts.
    -What else should be done wile in there? (Also serpentine belt is brand new)
