    I'm interested in converting my 2014 Tacoma to 4 wheel drive and I would like to know the parts that are required. So if anybody could help me out that would be appreciated. I know that many people say just to buy a new one with 4x4 but that isn't an option for me so the parts required for my particular Tacoma would be very much appreciated. Thank you

    I did the Prerunner to 4x4 mod myself. While I was at it swapped the engine and transmission and cab and it only cost me $2500. I didn't even have to bother with any of the had work and wiring nightmare.
    If you're not following I sold the Prerunner and bought the 4x4. I didn't think I would be able to afford the upgrade and that it would be cheaper to do what you are wanting to do but if you shop around you can find a 4x4 for what it would cost you in parts and labor.

    If you are asking how to do it, you are already in over your head. Trade it in and get a 4wd.

    What hasn't been modified?
    You need 4wd tranny, tcase, front diff, cv’s, new hub assemblies, front driveshaft. Will have to cut and weld transmission cross member, and rear driveshaft

    Myself and @libagui both used 4Runner Parts and now have awd as well as part time 4wd
