    hello all, i have a 99 tacoma single cab, 4x4, 2.7 5spd standard and i found a good deal on a v6 ext. cab for parts. i guess im just wondering if anyone has ever swapped out the reliable 4 banger for the more powerful v6. i think a v6 shorty would be pretty cool thks

    Grey wire and keyless entry. I like stock.
    It'll cost a bit. Trans is different bolting pattern, parts under hood are in different places throughout. You can do it and there are some peeps who have, but you better really, really want that 5vz to make it happen.
