Hi Thanks a lot for this tundra conversion playlist. Do you realy need to chandge the complete bed assembly? Changing the side panels; gate and rear bumper instead. Wouldn’t work? I want to convert mine 2008 crew max. The complete bed assembly is way too expensive compared with the side panels and gate. Wondering if the 3rd generation panels would fit on 2nd generation bed.
Hello and thank you for watching. No, you do not need to change the whole bed assembly. I believe you can just swap out the new 2014 bed with the old one. We took ours off because we were putting baja style bed on. Please double check the forums but I'm pretty sure it's possible. Let us know if you have more questions!
Now that I think about it. You probably do not have to remove the tailgate or bumper. It was also our first time, so we did what we thought we had to do, haha. Maybe you don't have to as long as you separate the gas tank, take off the bed cover, and disconnect the harness. Let us know if it works, thank you for watching!
