or just glue on some plastic toyota badging to the 5.3. No one will know the difference.

. So I could swap a tundra v8, but not a chevy 350, even if it was newer and passed all emissions. I could still register and drive it during the warmer months, just not during the winter. Diesels are an exception though, and can be swapped into anything, and don't require emmision testing

whats the deal with this? you cant drive it during the winter? that only leaves about a week that you could drive it huh?


i like graysons idea

I don't think the roads in Alaska are exactly open during the winter months... Most of hte cities are also closed and accesible only by aircraft.

I saw a couple of fj80's for ~$7500
also, in the North Texas version of truck trader there is a complete rolling chassis (wheels, tires, axles, tranny, 5.3 motor w/ computer/harness) for $2200 -no body..just frame-motor-tranny
ph 903-227-1585.....it's in the Misc. tuck parts/acces. section in the back of the June 16th issue
I couldn't find a link on the web...he probably got the cheap ad. w/ no internet ad.

cool, I'll look into that. As for winter driving conditions, I don't think they're as bad as that, especially in the anchorage area which is where I would want to go. As for the emmisions thing, aparently they are pretty rough on it. But like I said you can get a seasonal pass thats good for april through october I think. At this point, I'm just waiting for the tacoma to sell, and then I'll see what I can afford and go from there

did you see the one in front of the storage place next to sams?

[CRaSHnBuRN]

yeah, I've test driven it, but he wanted to much for it at the time. It has some problems, so I'm kinda leary about it
