Middle East front end?

Middle East front end?
Hey all, I'm currently in the middle east and I'm seeing all these nice 4x4 Toyota Trucks with very nice front ends (Quarter Panel, hood, grill, bumper).
Has anyone tried a swap with a North Americian truck? I would love to ship them back to Canada and have a totally unique looking 94 4x4!
Thoughts? It should just be a simple bolt on!

2002 Hilux
You can see there different. Although I like them both about the same, the Hilux does have that "Different" look that no one else in NA has.
Sharp too.

Personally I like the look of our Tacoma better than the Hilux. The Hilux kinda looks like a Mazda truck front end. But it does look as if it would be simply switching out body panels, however, it looks like it would take a whole lot to get it done, i.e. fenders, grill, bumper, headlights, possibly the hood.

Habit,
You need to get the parts from the Hilux 4x4 Xtracab as this is the Hilux that has the same frame number (N170) as that of the Tacoma Xtracab. But there may be other differences because the Hilux is rated as a 1-ton pickup whereas the Tacoma is rated as a 1/2-tonner only.
You can check the frame number by looking at the manufacturer's plate attached to the firewall on the left side of the engine bay.

Thanks RoySharif... Seams it might be a bit too much work then. I guess I will just do the Horn and Projector Mods to make it look different than everyone elses.
Here in Dubai there are a few "Souks" that just stock truck parts. And allot are to do with Toy's! It's a paradise for any truck fan. I'm gonna see if I can get some good deals for my little Toy. Everything from running boards, "A" pillar accessories, bumpers to custom stop lights and rims. I feel like a kid in a candy store!
I knew I seen that style of front end before, so when someone mentioned Mazda, that is where I seen it. But it's the head lights that I like the most! Oh well, I'd rather have the same Toy as everyone else, then people take it for a Mazda!
