the truck pictured is a 99, I have also put this bracket on a 97 and 02 since posting. I assume it would fit all 2rz motors which is the 4cyl that came in all the tacos 95-04. The reason I mentioned 2000 and older is that they have the lower hood on them, typically there is no issue with this on 01+ trucks as they have the raised center hood.

i built the same thing last Oct and have had no belt wear or adjustment issues. i put a 4runner front end on my 97 taco and had even more clearance issues then with the taco hood. building this was the cleanest and most effective option.
