    Love my current truck, rigged it for many an adventure. Two things, no 4WD and the engine is underpowered. Is it possible to get a stock V6 engine and replace the current 4cyl for a reasonable price? And how ridiculous is converting a RWD to 4WD. I have a 2005 Prerunner Sr5, any advice welcome, though I know I should look into getting a new truck, so other ideas would be great!

    Thanks,
    JC

    That’s a massive surgery. Better off selling it and getting a V6 4x4.

    I don’t know yet. I’ve already converted mine to 4wd and I’m in the process of swapping it from auto to manual. Come back in 5 yrs. I will probably have swapped in a v6 too.

    If you have LOTS of time and just want to do it go for it will be a great learning experance, but it would be cheaper to sell it and get another one
