    hopfully at the end of this year i will be able to perform a 4x4 swap into my 4x2 02 taco.

    my course of action is to buy a totaled out tacoma and pretty much swap everything over. what i need to know is if i should get a totaled 4cyl truck or a v6. basicaly im just building something that i can take to a trail and just bomb around in, nothing crazy like a rock crawler.
