    Yes. It is going to be black leather with the center section being black and gray plaid.

    I'm about to go down the same road as you. I have a '98 PreRunner 2.7l L4 and I want to convert it into a 3.4l V6 with 4x4. I was planning on buying a whole donor vehicle to do the swap (since it would be cheaper).

    How much did you pay for the donor truck? Any pointers before I dive into this?

    Paid 1200 for the truck. I'll document the swap as it happens. I'd recommend getting the same cab length if possible.

    Gotcha. I heard the motor mounts between the 2.7l and the 3.4l are different and requires some fabrication and welding. How are you planning on going about that?

    Really what seems the hardest is the ECU and wiring harness. If I'm not wrong you have to re-run the entire length of the harness.

    Looks like you're right. Luckily, I bought a running, driving parts truck in the same length. I'm planning on welding in mounts and re-running the harness.

    That's great!
    Looking forward to following your build. I hope I can follow suit one day.
