Hey guy's
I need a little input and advice. I have a '93 4runner that I rolled. Truck is and has been driveable however the door seals don't completly seal anymore and I hate getting wet in the rain.

My question is what route should I take with this thing.

Should I swap a new body onto this one?
Swap my drivetrain into a stock doner rig and SAS it?
Buy a SAS'ed rig and swap my drivetrain into it?

Everything is pretty much new from the fan shroud to the tires and everything in between.
I do not have my own shop to do this work at so I would be coming out of pocket for labor and such.
Any advice or input you could give me to help me make up my mind on my poor lil runner would be great
If I hit it just right, I might make it.

I was able to swap bodies in a weekend with the help of my friend... 17hrs... (1st gen runner)

Body swap for sure. It will let you cut and chop sections and weld back together in a nicer fashion then when its on the rig. Potenially giving you an even nicer Runner than before. Then run some slim exo to protect it.
