    all stock so far, but looking to get some part soon. I want to add boost
    I have a 2013 four-door to come up with the V6 4.0..
    QUESTIONS LIST!

    #1. I live in Arizona and I would like to swap out my air conditioner with something with more power!
    what would I need to do I was thinking about using a tundra AC compressor? what do you think can anybody give me some suggestions on how I can get my AC to blow some super cold air without turning it on high every time thanks!

    #2. I'm going to do a wide body body kit but I'm going to lower my truck a little bit.
    is there any kind of long arm suspension that I could get that doesn't require a lift?
    should I get adjustable or tundra arms? please help thank you.

    #3. I would like to go all wheel drive not 4x4! is there any modifications I could do to possibly make this happen? could I buy an all wheel drive kit from another vehicle and customize and fabricate something to make it work on a Tacoma?
    has anybody done this or does anybody have any ideas on how this could work or what work at all?

    #4.I can't find many helpful information on the internet but I would like to relocate my battery and my computer to the back or in cab
    I need to make room in my hood for other things
    I would like to rewire my harness to clean it up I think it's a disgusting mess..
    I would like to lengthen some areas and hide as much wiring as I can would that affect any of the performance or anyting I would most definitely upgrade the gauges to a little bigger to guarantee flow of information.
    has anybody else done this or do you have anything to suggest thank you fam!

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    1. Recharge it.
    2. https://www.urdusa.com/lowering-kits/ (You can't lower with a lift)
    3. No.
    4. The computer is already in the cab. You could put the battery in the bed possibly. Lengthening wires just adds more wire which is just more wire to hide. You could put it in a fancy wire loom instead of the stock black plastic.

    1. Pull down the headliner and insulate and also paint the exterior cab roof white.
    2. There is sketchy stuff you can do that I will not repeat here.
    3. Get a Honda Ridgeline.
    4. Yes, you can move the battery into the bed of the truck.

    It sounds like what you really want is a Tacoma X-runner. Unfortunately they don't make 4 door X-runners

    1. Always drive in a northerly direction

    2. The Solara would be a better foundation for such a build, try and find a rag top.

    3 Do tracks instead the conventional ones not the type that mount to each axle.

    2. Relocate everything under the hood into the bed. MR-2coma.

    I agree that the a/c in the Tacoma is a bit weak but just MAX all day every day :D

    It also sounds like you may have purchased the wrong vehicle lol.

    Is this for your 200mph taco you've been posting off and on about? Still waiting on the performance info you promised last month :popcorn:


    3)I think there's one guy that did an AWD swap, actually. Possibly with 4runner parts? Google is your friend.
    4)Longer very heavy gauge wires. A few have done that, too, again google is your friend.

    What are you trying to make room for?

    Or get a Silverado SS. Those have AWD, lowered from the factory, and a 6.0 small block V8.

    thank you everyone for helping me out and yes I'm going to be posting my build pictures and possibly a few videos I'll send you the links on YouTube and thank you for all the positive feedback and for all of you that have doubt it just fuels the fire.
    I want to have a Tacoma nobody else has.
    it will be very customized mostly built not bought and I love my dick, but I would like it to be very unique.
    once it's done you will all see.
    eather a failed attempted or an amazing success!.

    I also have about five grand worth of parts that I have already that I'm going to be installing and building soon I have about two crates full of a fiberglass and resin and a huge role of a specialized carbon fiber that is going to be the cherry on top!.
    again thank you all so very much for the feedback it's amazing to hear all of you coming together to help out someone with odd Questions..
    you guys will all be treated with my end result and when it's finalized I will show everyone and then I can pass on information when somebody else has the same kind of question and once I become more knowledged I can then help someone else in need..
    I just really appreciate it when everybody comes together what's positive feedback.

    I don't mind some of the negative stuff either it really does help out also sometimes people are right and sometimes I can take a step back and think about a few things if I should be doing something different so I will take everything and inconsideration and thank you again for everything..

    keep on truckin and more info please
