    To me the 4.6 would make more sense for the 2nd gen, but just like the 5.7 it's normally mated to a 6spd auto, not sure how easy it would be to bolt to the stock 5spd.

    I will use what I can get my hands on, LOL. The 4.7 Would go very nicely in the second gen. I think i could just get the computer and the engine wiring and make it work. The 2nd gen and The Tundra systems are so much alike, It would be easy.

    I would trade my 14 for a nice long wheel base reg cab manual 4x4 v8 t100 any day of the week. I don't think they ever existed though.

    I say do it. 03 does not have curtain airbags and the 06 does.

    Might save your life or limb one day.

    I like the Sport Radiant Red. Although you should take the stupid rain guards off lol

    I don't think I can take off the rain guards. I live near the coast and when it rains, it gets foggy and having the windows down a little helps. I might melt if I took them off.
