    I have a wrecked 2013 that's loaded with low miles. Also have a 06 with high miles and a good body. Is it possible to put the 06 body on the 13 and is it worth the trouble and expense.

    I would think it wouldn't be much hassle at all. It's basically a frame swap only easier. They do those all the time. 2 Techs can do it in under 3 days.

    There will be some wiring differences that you will have to swap over. Assuming they're both 4.0L, the '13 has an air pump and the '06 does not. Also, if 1 is a TRD OR and the other is not, there will be major brake differences. Also worth considering, you will have to register it as a '06, which will be a significant loss in value over a '13. Legally, you're probably supposed to register it as an assembled vehicle. That would really kill it's value.
