need help from 2wd guys

New to the tacoma world. Want to keep this thing around for a while. Unfortunately I don't know much about replacement parts and what I do find is usually for 4x4 6 lug trucks.

I know the frames are different but im curious about whether rear bumpers are interchangeable, as well as doing a 2.7 to v6 swap and if the mounts line up. I also need to know what the largest wheels I can get without rubbing at stock height would be. Basically any info you may have in regards to where to get parts for a 4x2 xtracab. What parts are compatible from which bodystyles etc.

parts I am currently on the lookout for include a real tow hitch (will 4x4 ones bolt onto my frame?), rear bumper (aftermarket?), frame(or replacement sections if they are manufactured new somewhere?), carpet, steering wheel, wheels (maybe factory toyota wheels that are larger than 14"?), heavy duty leaf springs, new front shocks. Anything else that you might think of or know about.

thanks in advance and please let me know if im breaking a rule or posting in the wrong place.

 

I have no knowledge really of the 5 lug trucks but have you looked in the 5lug section of the site? Might find some answers there and others will comment I'm sure and get you the answers you want

And welcome to tw!

 

thanks man. Ill post there as well.
