Taco SAS or 84 Engine swap

[mkmarz]

Don't know what to do with my yotas

84 4runner custom shock hoops, nice bumpers, hysteer,etc but no gears or lockers working on that.

87 4runner sr5, fresh 22re, No rust (possibly selling)

94 V6 camry

I was working on a tacoma at school and I love it. and the 3.4 hauls. I saw the transfercase adapter. How come I never see a toyota axle in front of any Tacomas?

I vote for putting the camry body on the 87 frame and build it up:thumb: butt then I'm brainless:hahaha:

you never see any toy axles in the front of tacos cause the diff is in the driver side darn engineers i think they change stuff just for the sake of change!   it would take someone very skilled too do something like swap the front end around for a taco!
 :psss:check out the current solid axle swap on the main marlin page

Most guys using tacoma with sas go with a driver side
d-44 up front and they come out pretty sweet.I still think the mid 80's mini are better for wheeling then taco..

I thought I could beat the crap out of the 84 this summer. get gears and lockers. Then next summer put the front end into a taco. Only because I looked into engine swaps. And looks like I would run around 5-6 grand to stay toyota(and there is no way I am going to go american). i started looking for a high mileage taco.i could get one for a little bit more.

I figured a MC09 woiuld cut allot of work out of the swap.

that is cause i was assumeing a taco came with the R150F.

As for adding the unibody camry ontop of the 4runner, my girl friend would kill me. But if I had the skills, I probly would anyways.

:scratch:Guess you lost me..whats going to cost 5-6 grand to stay toyota?An engine?Or all your up grades?
Don't knock the ifs on the taco..With some rear suspension work and front spacers can be a great trail rig..My taco does great on the trail.Not much of a rock rig but its awesome in mud and sand..Keep am eye out for updated pics on my almost trail ready taco..I

you can think what you want about going american power.  let me tell you it flat kicks ass to just tickle the skinny pedal and light up 38's show me ANY import engine swap that costs under $5000 that can do that! :thumb:

I have decided to stick with my 87 4runner and use my 84 as a donor. I am thinking its probly better to finally get a 4wheeler.

Don't worry Ill change my mind before I start.
