Build thread?

Around two months ago I got into a car accident. My 03 took the fall….. I am no longer Taco_guy03… Taco_guy04??? I was really upset but I will never forget how great of a truck it was.

So now to the present time. I found a mint 2004 double cab pre runner with 107,000 miles!

I still have the 03.
Specs about the 03.. Auto, 4x4, add, j shift.


I know this is a frequently asked question, but since I basically have all of the parts on hand what would be the most challenging part of the 4wd swap. A wire harness??



Rip 03…

 

So far what I have done to 04…

Tint
My old wheel and tire set up 265/75r16
Upgraded interior leds
Front coil leveling puck

Plans for the upcoming months

I currently own a set of scs wheels
SCS stealth 6 16x8 -25mm i am still think about tires, once I get lift and tires the SCS will go on.


Front: 5100/ 881

Rear: icon 1.5 aal/ 5100

Camper shell

 

There is a guy on YouTube that has rebuilt alot Toyota's. He just finished a build were he turned a green 1st gen Tacoma prerunner into a 4x4 not to long ago. Believe his name is Austin Niemela. His videos could be helpful.

 

I think I am subscribed to him, I remember him building a Toyota pickup? not sure

 

Update: just checked two items off the checklist….

Now just missing the lift… this thing is going to look like a tank

 

How it going??

 

Oops forgot to update…
