Peter-

Whatever you do, avoid car payments at all costs. If that means selling your 02 to get an older 4x4 (maybe a 98+ with locker) then do it.

My .02.

why do you need an engine?
i was thinking you could pick up a first gen runner for the same price as the 4by stuff. but then youd have to put some money into it im sure, i just love those first gens......

i think you have plenty of friends that can help you do a swap, my local ttora does wrench-a-thons to help members who want help all the time. since this is a hobby i find spending days off working on yotas ONE of the most enjoyable things i do. good luck.

My wife really wants a DC Tacoma, but I am going to wait for the reason I mentioned above.
But would they want an older one to take the place of a new one? Otherwise that's an excellent suggestion

Sorry, meant donor truck with all the necessary parts...
I'm not sure if 2 vehicles is up my alley but who knows what the future holds

Yeah, I see that TTORA has a lot of wrenchathons going on but I'm not sure my personality vibes with theirs. I don't party, I don't drink, and I live a pretty conservatively quiet life

I am going to see if we can set up a SoCAl wrenchathon sometime later as I hope to have lift stuff ready to go soon
