    Ok so as of today I am the proud owner of 2 tacomas!! They are both salsa red and both 1999s my 1st one is a TRD with power locks/windows
    the second is NOT a TRD and has manual locks/windows

    im keeping the 2nd one because it only has 100K miles and the TRD has 200K miles.... the body and interior are also in much better shape.

    I am wondering if I could or should swap the things I love about the TRD to the other one before selling the TRD

    can swap out the elock only?
    I know I could swap out the entire rear end but it is higher mileage ans has leaky seals
    what would you do?

    Can I swap out the doors and now have power windows/locks....what else would I have to do?

    What should I swap?
    Or do I just leave it and install new after market parts to get what I want?

    Thanks

    To keep it simple, why don't you just swap motors and rebuild the rear end? If you want a couple odds and ends front the other one, just swap em over? I know the locker has to go through the ecu, so that will have to go with your locker and wire harness etc. doors and locks may not be pre wired, more of a headache if you ask me
