As you all know, I rolled my truck and plan to replace my cab with the old 2wd's cab. This has already proved to be a pita, and has already challenged how little I know about these trucks. I don't know how I'll manage to do this, as I find it hard to even take the dash apart. Hopefully I'll find someone on here who will be willing to help me at least online.

First got it home:


That night got some of the interior out, fenders, doors, and windshied duct taped to keep it kind of in tact:




Then today didn't get to much at all before it started raining and had to stop. All work was done prepping the 2wd cab today:



How both sit after it started to rain:

 

Progress will be slow unfortunately

 

Good luck with it man. BTW, I think that 2wd cab is gonna look sick on the 4wd. I love the paint on it!! That toyota devil horn sticker on the hood aint bad lookin either

 

good luck! i don't know alot about 2nd gen trucks but i'll try to help if i can

 

Duck tape fixes everything (but a crushed cab) good call on taping the windshield....

 

It might be to late and it might not work, but can you cut the cab at the fender and bed level and weld it on. /

 

I know someone that can, but some of the cab below the bed is bent a little. Still don't know yet though.

 

are their any things different between the two cabs?

 

one thing that I know of, there is no hole for the transfer case shifter. Also, I guess it's not body, but my fenders aren't flared out on the 2wd.

 

One question, does anyone know if the mounting points of a 4runner body are the same as a pickups? If so, I would more than likely turn mine into a 4runner! That would be sweet!!!

 

They are different.

 

oh well.

 

Sorry it's different

lol i had to

 

Have welder, will travel. Swap the bodies. It's not impossible, lol.

 

Sorry to hear about the roll over man. how did you roll it? The roll bar hold up ok?

 

You'd be better off buying a 4runner.

 

Yeah, I was being stupid following another friend in a similar truck drifting around a dirt road, they made it okay without 4x engaged, I had 4x engaged and it pulled me into a ditch. That's what flipped me. I think if you hadn't sold me that roll bar for so cheap, I wouldn't have one, and I might not be here telling the story. But we flipped her back over and she started right back up. Only in a toyota, right?

I once again worked too late to get pictures up, but I did manage to get some of the wiring and dash out. Also drained and removed the radiator. So then a friend pulled the 2wd on stands so I could get to bleeding the brakes easier, and never got to it 'cause it got dark. So I'll probably do all that tomorrow.

 

If anyone has any front fenders in ga that they would like to donate or sell cheap, let me know. I will also be going up to new york to niagra falls here in a couple of days. If anyone has any parts they want to get rid of I might be interested.

 

This is how far I got last night:

 

I went through a ditch one time doing the same thing but the ditch i went through was very shallow
