Make a Toyota Tacoma Look More Like a Classic Land Cruiser With This Conversion

Flex Automotive is adding a new retro-styled truck to its Renoca series of modern Toyotas with classic faces. While Flex previously dealt mostly with modern Land Cruisers, and the occasional Hiace van, it now offers a modified Toyota Tacoma and it's called the Renoca Windansea.

The Windansea is based on the third-generation Tacoma but Flex replaces its entire front fascia with a custom-built one designed built one that resembles the old 60 Series Land Cruiser. That means it gets the classic circular headlights, a rectangular grille with a corresponding hood, a big front bumper, and a metal skid plate. That's pretty much it, though. Aside from some black trim, on the fenders and windows, and new wheels, the Windansea's face is its biggest visual change from a third-gen Tacoma.

Admittedly, there are some additional options you can spec for your Windansea, such as a lift kit, side steps, roof lights, and a bed rack, but you can add those things to any Tacoma using aftermarket parts.
