    I know of someone planning to do the swap to the 1GR and manual. He had done a quick search and found an engine for $600.

    I think the reg cab would be pretty damn quick with that setup. You getting a shop to install a 5.3L?

    I compared my Access cab Tacoma to a Access cab Tacoma. That basically only have front suspension differences. So approximate in this case is completely acceptable.

    But, I tell you what. You can come and measure the two your way. And I jive you for not doing it the way I want. :p lol.

    When I get it up and running, we'll park them side to side and get accurate measurments with more pictures from multiple angles and references. :thumbsup:

    Agreed. What is the drop... DJM 3/3? I think the chubby-@ss tires probably help out the look as well :D

    Nice photo and truck, jmarquez! (Although it looks like your 'barn door' is open :D )

    One clear benefit of a black base-model Tacoma is that you don't have to paint the bumpers, door handles, or mirrors to get them "color matched" :eek:

    Love this, looks like I'm gonna have to upgrade to 18's, just can't justify spending an extra $60/tire.

    I really wanna go djm 4/4 but can't justify hacking up the frame on a 2011 lol

    Not to mention the roads in NM are terrible. It's like they don't know what paving is
