I have a chance to buy a rolled 96 Tacoma- 4x4-standard cab-4cyl-shortbed. It has 34000 original miles, everything works nothing on frame is bent. the only things wrong with it are the cab- doors-fenders and hood are junk. What do you think it might be worth? I can get it for $1500.00

Go for it!

Doors might not be junk if its just the top section. Taco Half doors.

You should buy it, then get an Air ride chassis for it, and SAS it with a Ford hi-pinion full width D44. ;) And of course a 60 rear!

If you've got basic mechanical skills, that's an excellent price.

you can do it!!!

In other words, buy the motor and tranny? ;)

And frame, and electrical, and nice seats....need I go on? A chassis gets welded to the existing frame except in the case of the X-chassis which is setup for a 4 link (or James Link) front and rear and requires no frame.

My friend bought a 97 Taco 4x4 rolled 3 times nothing was straight. The only good thing was the drive train. He paid $1300.00. $1500 is a great deal. I would buy it.

Thanks guys I think I'm going to get it.

I just bought a 1994 short wheel base 4x4 with the V6 nice mags
Runs very good has had the heads redone by Toyota Had been rolled for 6 bills

If it was a v6 I would not hesitate to get it I just wasn't sure I would like the 4cyl. I guess i'm gonna get it anyway. I figure I can sell all the stock parts i'm not using to fund some of the parts I need. Probably won't go the formula route as I have a rack of DOM in the garage and a bender and welder. I'll get some pics when I get it.

3rz or 2rz? Cause if it's a 3rz I've got an 85 4Runner i'd trade ya :D

It has the 2.7 dohc

Cut the roof off, cant go wrong with a convertable thrasher. Formula Toy?
