    They are sticklers for tint here! I got down to a science! In 45 mins I can steam off old tint, get a new inspection, reinstall tint. Do it every year :)

    Extra 15mm is I think the most OEM offset you can get

    The cheapest way to plan a swap is to have a donor truck with all the parts you are going to need .
    There are just as many issues with the manual transmission as there are with the auto .
    I am an old pro at the swap thing ... Dont waste your hard earned money $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
    Now , if you are considering making your truck a 4x4 at the same time you swap to a manual , its still going to be expensive but worthwhile if you do it correctly
    You can read about swaps at this thread

    Positraction is a brand of mechanical limited slip, and yes lots of toyotas came with limited slips. 2005-2008 TRD sport tacomas for instance.

    I only mentioned it because you wanted to do the swap to get posi.

    I learned how to drive stick in my uncle's '91 Toyota pickup at the age of 25. Now I detail cars for a huge dealership and I'd say I get a few stick shift vehicles a month.

    How many people with mild autism (Aspergers Syndrome) like myself can drive stick?
