As some of you know, I have been planning on trading in, but, Im not willing to wait,, yes yes im not willing to wait, I like my silver sport edition even though I wouldnt mind having a black sport.
I know most of you think im an idiot for doing this and I should trade, but id rather keep my silver truck as it stands out from the rest imo and I just have fond memories of it.
step 1 will consist of
- tranny, anywhere from 600 to 1000
- base model sr5 runner chain driven or tacoma transfercase
- tranny mount
- rear drive shaft.
I will run that setup for a while until I get the front done. This will also allow me to mod the case so I can run 2lo for the remainder and be able to at least keep up with the 4wd crowd with my rear locker.
step 2
- tacoma front end
- manual hubs
- 4wd spindels
- non add shafts and front diff.
- and front driveshaft
step 3
lockin that front
Im starting to get a looot of money during the summer. and I want to do step one before I head for Colorado State hopefully!
if anybody has any inputs or thoughts on this let me know. hopefully the xfer case is first to get within this week.
already have shifter console piece.
update: found a tranny in lavonia GA which is a relief since its only about 35 miles, he wanted 1k for it but I talked him down to 900 while I was there, however I hope to get at least it down to 850 hopefully. got some things to sell and should have that next week maybe later depending.

Heres the deal, I think I can get it done and be correct for around 2k, and thats prob over doing it on price.

edit: I sourced a tranny in Lavonia GA and they were asking about 1k for it, I got it down to 900 in the shop but I may be able to get it down even more, this is such a relief since its only 35 miles away compared to the other closest tranny being 200 miles.
Im a little bit confused on what type of mount goes where and what mounts I need to get. Also what shifters I may need to order or get from a junkyard.
