Hey guys im new to the forums here but have had severel dieing questions that i wish could be answerd from some guys a little more familiar with the tacoma line. I own a 2003 tacoma 4 door TRD off road with the rear diff. lock and i was wondering is it possible i could add 4 wheel drive without having to buy a whole new truck? Also i would like to ask about the hell i have been puttin my truck through lately...at least i think so...ive been doing alot of hunting in some back country with alot of mud with some sand or just going down roads with that black jack. Well unfortunately this evening i got stuck in the black jack and had to call a 4X4 to come get me out of my mess..but before i put it in reverse put it in 2nd low watched the rpms go to 4000 and crinched even though the red is well about 6000....i was just curious if this all of this is rough on my truck and weather or not i should just get a friends truck to do the dirty work rather than mine. I jus really like that truck and am worryed about it if im doing something wrong so i came here for questions haha.
alright well any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks
Well, It's the same fram as the 4x4 model. Really,exactly the same, minus the 4x4parts.
If you can get a hold of a 4x4 tranny, and transfercase, front driveshaft, front diff, and front axles, and hubs...(plus all of the other *little* things you'll need) it really should be a bolt on deal.
BUt, I have never done one myself. I've seen 4x4 Tacomas, and 4x2 Tacoma pre-runners side-by-side, and aside from the 4x4 parts, like I said before, they're identical.
If you can get the parts, Maybe give it a try if your up to the task.
But, you might be better off just gettin a 4x4 Tacoma, or older Toyota pickup for all of Your romping.
