Question Lexus Truck ( LX570 front on 08 Tundra )

Hey guys,

It's been a while since i've been on here and had a quick question. I have built several custom vehicles over the years and I am ready to take on another project. I have an 08 Tundra, and I was wanting to take the front end from the LX570 and transplant it onto the Tundra.

My question is do any of you know somebody who has tried this? If you do, I would appreciate some contact information for that person. I have access to the parts for a pretty reasonable price and the body lines will match up nicely. I am wanting to change out the steering wheel,complete rebadge and OEM Lexus Wheels

My last project was turning a 95 Toyota Supra into a roadster and I did a rebadge on it and made it into an SC440... it turned out extremely well.

This is not a "halfass" project... so please take this seriously.

So if you guys could help, I would appreciate.

Please email me at shanecrausby@bellsouth.net

Thanks
sc

This is rediculous.

At least the engines are the same size....but built in different plants

Opinions are like nipples... everybody should at least have three...

Look... I wasnt asking for an opinion, I was asking if anyone had done it. If nobody has done it, then that is all the more reason I will.

Hey,

Clublexus might be not be the best forum to ask this on,

there is a great Land Cruiser forum called IH8MUD.com also includes LX450/470/570

www.ih8mud.com

more members there will be much more friendly to your idea and give you some helpful feedback!

There was a guy who made a 98 LX470 into a dune buggy but check it out, great forum for Land Cruiser/Toyota Truck owners!

Here is the link to that LX470 buggy, http://forum.ih8mud.com/100-series-c...470-buggy.html

His name is Alan, forgot his member I.D but hoser should have some ideas, he also posts on the LX470 forum here!

I have always said Lexus should make a truck (based of course off the tundra) because ALOT of lexus fans would want one. Take my dad for instance...Needs a Pickup for alot of things, but wants a lexus, and doesnt nessecarily want ANOTHER car to contend with (he has a bunch already, i lost count).

That Supra did come out quite nice!! Nice vision and great work. I think your new idea will come out quite nice based on the photoshop above.
