Add 4x4

Anybody ever heard of buying all the components from toyota or parts yard " off of a good totaled one.. lol "and installing it on a prerunner to become 4x4?

 

With enough time and money you can do anything

 

I was going to do that if I got a pre-runner. There is a thread about it on TTORA and there might of been one on here but I don't recall.

 

Ya personally I would just sell the truck and buy one with 4x4 already, Gonna be alot of work and time to get 4x4. Not to mention the $$$

 

Probably cheaper to trade in for one.

 

Thats very true, if i could do it for around 1500 -2000 $ id tackle it

 

If you do all the labor, then the parts is all you need.

 

^^ oh yeah i will definately be doing the work, im kind of a gearhead, i just dont fool with internal engine work.

 

i think someone on here did it to thier first gen

 

my friend did it on his 1st gen, http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/members/alove0750.html

 

The manual T-case is a GREAT idea!!

 

My buddy did a 4x4 swap on his F250 power stroke. I know it's nothing like a Tacoma, but he came out pretty good. He bought a totaled Excursion for $800 and used all of the 4x4 parts and then sold his stock parts. He also took the Excursion to the junk yard when he was done and got $ for it. He ended up coming out spending a lot less than everyone was expecting. I think it was <$2000.
