    I have a 2010 Tacoma TRD Sport SR5 and I love it but one thing that kinda bothers me is that it doesn't have 4wd. I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how much it would cost to make it into a 4wd or maybe the next best thing.

    Are you wanting to perform the work yourself or have a shop do it?

    If yours has the locking rear diff you are already as close as you'll get to 4X4 without going 4X4. Unless you can do all of the work yourself you'd be better off just trading for a 4X4 instead of trying to convert what you have.

    I think sell and get 4WD, it's too much work, might end up with crappy parts, plus I personally would never buy it from you later after you did that.
