Frame swap
« on: Jul 23, 2019, 07:53:52 PM »
I currently have an 85 4Runner, but I have found a really good deal on a much nicer 97 Tacoma body. My current body is trashed and I want put the taco body on my frame/running gear... does anyone know if it’ll fit??? Thanks.
If this is t the right area, please let me know.

If you have a welder, a plasma cutter, arbitrarly large amounts of money, and an arbitrarly long time in which to complete the project, anything will fit. :cheese:

First thing will be to compare body mounts, for the Taco cab and the 4-Runner's, and see how close they are.
