    You think I'm rich?!!

    Edit: plus, I'm the only one at my school that drives a Tacoma, so none of my friends can even say they drive a Tacoma let alone a sas'd tacoma that is converted to 4wd

    Well this isn't my first vehicle. My first one was a Ford Ranger single cab 2wd. That was way to small, so i decided to upgrade. After searching for 6 months to find a tacoma, because i knew exactly what i want and didnt have the money to buy the first couple i saw, i finally found one in my price range.

    I'm ordering a new suspension tomorrow, should be in by Wednesday, then should be installed by Friday. Ill update the first post when complete. How hard is it to install a new suspension/lift by myself or with a friend? What kind of tools involved?

    Edit: since my stock suspension is sagging so bad, i called the dealership and asked them if my extended warrenty covered that and they said it should. So instead of spending $400 on new rear leafs, i can get an AAL. So that puts $400 back in my pocket!

    you should hold off on buying light bars and suspension stuff so you can convert it to 4wd!

    Yeah. Tornadoes are weird. You can look at the houses that got hit by the tornado, and they are completely leveled. Then if you look just one block away from the path, Those houses still have all of their plants and everything. Just wierd

    Convert it.

    I paid

    450 for trannny, t case, both drivesafts, and crossmember

    150 for a front diff and manual hubs and spindles

    120 for autozone axles (if you have cores)

    A free 4wd shift knob :spy:

    100 for fluids

    100 for new Ball joints

    25? tranny screen


    And around 200 more of other random crap

    so you will be in the price range of 1000-1500
    depending on deals you find, if shit happens, you get the picture.

    But I also did everything myself so I didn't pay for labor..



    Good luck! its worth it!
