buying a 2004 taco 2x4 $12k 52Kmiles

so do you think it's worth the money and also would it be worth to convert to 4x4

 

Gonna need more info. Sr5, trd? Double cab? Rear locker? Frame condition? Truck regional origin? Any mods?

 

sr5 double cab frame is great, its been garage kept..

 

also no mods

 

So it's not a trd? Cause if it was then it'd have a rear locker which then I could say constitutes 12.

But it has super low miles and it's an 04 - therefore you have to personally decide if it's worth it to you given these trucks go pretty quick, chances are someone else is either looking at it as well or will.

 

it has the towing package, trd and a bed cover... probably a sweet deal... just not sure about the conversion to 4x4?

 

Still a bit confused, so it is a trd off road?

The conversion can be easily done if you look for the parts I got some links for you that can help if you're interested. Everything is meant to bolt right up.

 

sorry I'm new to the toy family...still learning... yes it has the tad off road package.. yes thanks for the advice and help in advance

 

oops trd*

 

Perfect. So then it does have a rear locker, if you ever check the truck out just be sure to check to the left of the steering wheel to confirm it has a "RR DIFF LOCK" button.

Remember you can either go the manual route or the ADD route - you can choose between either the "j shift" transfer case or the newer style selector shifter. CV axles from manual hubs do not work with ADD and vice versa.

Here's a pretty recent thread that is pic heavy

Here's another that might have a little more info And you can always be on the look out for parts here

And here's a parts list, with prices that will vary*

 

good to know its possible, will help with the decision whether to buy used or go new... thanks for the help

 

Granted when I got mine a year ago it had 170k on it I paid just over 13 minus my trade for an 05 dclb 4x4 sr5 unmodded with power windows/locks and OEM fogs. It took me a very long time to find one at a good price though. Runs like a champ. Only thing I've had to do is routine maintenance

 

So why did you just start a whole new post about the same thing, but instead a Tundra

 

different vehicle option, curious to see if its possible to change 2wd to 4wd on tundra as well...and would it be worth the effort at the price? or just go but a newer 4x4
