Yal are gonna think I'm crazy lol

First off hello my names Chris
I'm new to this forum but not to toyota's or really anything that moves. I'm a diesel mechanic and fabricator,welder..

I've decided to join this forum to ask for some input and pictures. I have no idea if this has been done already... Anyway here goes... I'm hopefully picking up a new 2014 toyota Tacoma tomorrow and as soon as I get it I'm taking it to the shop and taking the whole front suspension off of it and solid axle swapping it..
What I would like to know is if any one on here has a sas newer body style Tacoma and also if u could post pics up. I'm just interested to see how it will look and what it will take to do the swap thanks


Chris

Yes I know people will have there own opinions on why or why I shouldn't do this to a new Tacoma....point is idc.. I want to and that's the whole reason I'm buying it... Thanks again

 

Any input?

 

Welcome
Sounds like one hell of truck you are planning.

Heres a thread for the solid axle guys

Here and Here

 

And since your name is Mr. Diesel, you might as well go for this swap as well http://dieseltoys.com/

 

Welcome to the forum, you will find a whole world of people here doing things you thought had never been done. Youre only crazy thinking you'd be the first to think or do it.

Can't wait to see the end product. What color you getting?

Will do thanks

 

Nice we'll I will add to the first newer body style sas I'll take pics tomorrow off the tear down.. Any one need some really low milage 2014 front end parts lol

 

2005 to 2014 hasnt changed besides the hood, grille, fenders, and bumer right??

i was under the impression they are pretty much the same

 

Curious question. Are you going for a basic leaf spring type setup, or will you be doing a 3 or 4 link system?

Oh, and I assume you realize that Toyota is going to drop you like a hot potato on your warranty. lol.

 

They may be honestly I don't know besides the obvious hood fenders etc.. This will be the first newer sas for me so I'm gonna def be posting pics and questions during the build

 

Basic leaf spring set up for now maybe four link in the future...
As for warranty uh ya lol I know.. But I'm still planning on taking it in for its first oil change so I can see there faces I already have a set of 16x12 mt classic 2's on 35/16/16 bloggers for it lol
