Ok guys we just did (www.eight08customs.com / www.Forjwoks.com) Hawaii's First Rumion rear bumper/ tail lights conversion. to do this right you need the tail ights becuase the bumpers are shaped differantly..

The Mod is farely easy on a scale of 1 to 10 i give it a 5.. with some basic tools you can do this on your own and you can order the bumper color matched from Toyota.. SO no painting needed

Here it is freah of the boat from Japan!


First thing to do is to take out the OEM tail lights..


After that remove all bolts and clips..


Inside the fender well got 2 like this. there is one more on the bottom side under the wheel well andmake sure you unplug the rev light wire


Than you pop the bumper off.. it uses clips so you might have to pull on it rom teh fender well outward..


Next you will have to remove the USDM bumper support.. becuase the JDM bumper is shorter.


This is the US bumper notice how my phone sits on top the entire bumper.


This is the Japan Bumper notice how my phone hangs off now its about 2 to 3 in shorter.



Next you have to install the refelctors .. the japan lights dont have the reflectors in the lights and lke most new cars now day the reflectors are in the bumpers instead of the lights.

Thanks you just rev the order and install the new bumper


Now you have to install the japan lights

Notice the plug on the left is from the japan light.. it is wider.. the one of the right is the US plug.. what you have to do is tranfer the plug.. I optied not to cut any wires.. and use any connectors to achive a factory look.. I dont beleive in butchering wires if i dont have to.. that called attention to detail and at eight08customs that is was we do best.


Notice the left light has 3 bulbs becuase it has the Rev lights.. and right has 2 and a smaller plug US.. we have to tranfoer the US plug to the Japan harness. you have to use the japan harness becuase the us bulb holders wont fit in the japan lights


Japan plug up close


US plug up Close


to transfer the harness to the US plug you have to use a smallpic to open the clip that holds the pins in the plug.. make sure you do this one by one.. and tranfer them.. note.. the brake and runnignlights are flipped so you have to make sure you flip those wires ..i forget what color theywas..
here it is done.. and all yo have is one wire for the rev lights .. all you have to do is tap into the rev wire and add 2 wires one to left one to the right.. the ground is already connected in the harness.




and there you have it..

daaaammmnnn!!!!! sick rear end. those lights and bumper are so much nicer than the crap one sided reverse light we got . . . . looks good. Marshall, Francis, job well done as usual!!

 

looks great. wish i could get the taillights, but cant see spending $400+ on them.

 

so, no bumper support? Sure it looks good but Id like the support for accidents.
-nick

 

its dangerous with no real bumper back there but sacrifices have to be made for looks sometimes, good job!

 

Say bye bye to your xb if you get rear-ended. Looks good though lol

 

looks awesome except for the reflectors. imo it would have looked better just smooth. is that trd exhaust? i have an hks and it already sticks out quite with the stock bumber i wonder how it would look with that one

 

either way say by by to the rear of the xb if someone slams into you from behind.

 

Looks fresh for sure!

 

yeah.. was thinking of importing the japanese bumper support.. but.. just imagine the shipping on that piece of metal.. so.. dont think i'll be getting one anytime soon...but nice job.. was expecting it on yours marshall..lol

SinZz--

 

Mines? I wish.. lol but i do see garson starting to make things for the rumion.. So there might be light at the end of the tunnel soon..

 

oh so sweet!!!!!!!!!! looking good marshall and francis!!!! ok next time need to send an ist set of bumpers with the front bumper rumion. lol

 

she looks like a whole other woman! looking good.

 

nice! i like that rear end much more then the US version! good job!!! love it!

 

Yea, the scariest thing about rolling without a crash bar is that, if you are in an accident, and insurance sees that you removed the crash bar, they probably aren't going to cover you... dancar on bB Squad is fighting with his insurance company now about coverage.

 

talk about weight reduction and looking good..they go hand in hand...hahaha

 

how much different is the shape from the usdm lights and the Jdm ones. Could I get away just getting the lights from japan or are both lights and bumper needed?
-nick

 

the shape is different and the size is slightly different as well.. the rumion tail lights are slightly shorter and creates a gap between the xb bumper and the rumion tail.. if you were to get the rumion bumper without the taillight.. it wouldnt fit.

you COULD get away with it.. there'll just be a small gap between

 

looks awesome

 

real dope! I wonder if that bumper comes as low as the kenstyle kit?....LOL. hmm
