Wrecked 3.4 Taco Build ?s

I got ahold of a 2002 3.4 V6 Crew Cab 4x4 truck that had been wrecked in the front end. The frame is bent, but by chance I have a 99 Tacoma Xtra Cab frame. I'm going to swap the 02 cab, bed, and motor/trans to my 99 frame. Wondering if you all had any tips or tricks for making this swap easier....

Take your time . Get help when you need it.

Get out the tape measure and measure every thing.

Much easier to do any fabrication before the cab and body are sitting on the 99 frame.

Might be a good time to reinforce the 99 frame at the places prone to rust. unless your in the desert !!

Know your more then likely going to be moving the cab and body mounts I can`t say for sure never having been under a 4 door truck.
