Rear diff swap?
I mean complete rear axle swap. Suddenly it's an even bigger job than I had hoped.
What about swapping in a tundra 5.7? Any major gains?

Way too much work involved. I'm pretty sure you would need the whole donor vehicle and it might require you to run the instrument cluster. Much easier to add an LS

Yup I use them on every build
I can do the easy part of getting the LS to run as it's too simple to get it to run. I have LS motors, 700r4 and computers sitting around along with wiring harnesses. Of course have no clue on what the electronics/communication would be like for the rest of the systems and how they are integrated. Starting to see some more info. in this post is encouraging though.

I think that once the engine placement is figured out, that becomes a known quantity. No lift to clear a live front axle, no steering box to interfere with a power steering pump like on the 60s and 80s. I'd go with a built 4L65E or 4L80 over the 700r4 as they are better suited to the LSX series.
Not speaking to Smog states as lord knows they have a full set of their own issues that I stay away from, I think if a manual T-case, new gauges and all new wiring for the fuel pump are used you are pretty much stand alone aside from a few connections. I would think that the rest of the truck can be worked out from an electrical stand point.
Perhaps one day I'll get to do a swap in a 100, never know.

I mean - for the money I'd rather just rebuild the 2UZ-FE with a stroker kit. Bore a little bigger, new pistons and upgraded rods (weak point of these motors) with the new CAM and crank from stroker kit and you'd have more than enough power. Throw on a turbo, or two small turbos, and you'd have a beast without all the headache of a swap.
Cost you'd be a wash probably but you'd still be all yota. With HP you gotta pay to play!

I agree, the Toyota running gear is pretty damn strong stock and the few aftermarket parts avail for the uzfe family seem to address the short comings.
What's an estimate on the above swap? 7k or more if your sourcing quality parts and labor. 7-10k will yield you one quick, durable 2uzfe.
More diesel swaps would be my choice, I'd love a diesel in my LX!

Im not a Toyota v8 guy but if you wanted one here is a whole truck for 6k

Heck I thought ours were a manual t case with the manual lever. 4l65e would be better suited and since you have the ls computer hooking it up isn't too difficult. My ls stuff was and is all 6 speeds which is the easiest. I could probably get by with just a water temp gauge in this situation. Fuel pump is an easy hookup with a key on and a relay. A/C hose and system integration would have to be farmed out but don't see why the swap would mess up the electronics of the dash and a/c.
I am not aware and haven't looked at any upgrades for the 4.7 as I thought there really wasn't much point in doing any internal motor work. Turbo or SC would be different. The turbo and SC numbers I have seen look similar to what would be easy to get out of an LS. And if the motor ever blows they are on every street corner for a grand.
Yes, diesels are great but I think an LS would be easier. I don't care for 500 hp/tq-350-400 at the flywheel is easy with the ls and I would think enough.
There was a duramax 100 I remember reading about on here awhile back but I think that was mainly a body swapped onto the dmax chassis. I have a Dmax swapped suburban and it's great but I'm tired of driving it. Just started driving our old 100 this week for a change of pace since the kiddo went to college.

For an engine swap you are looking at 10-12k for a shop to do it (they usually source the engine at that cost).
You could rebuild the 2uz for 2-4 grand and that includes offset grinding of the crank and longer/stronger rods (along with over bore and larger pistons of course). Add headers and exhaust and you are probably looking at close to 70-90 hp and 100+ ft/lb torque gain for maybe a grand total of 5k out the door. (you'd be at a 5.2 or 5.3 L displacement and the longer stroke will give you a lot more torque).
You also have a strong base if you ever wanted to add a turbo or supercharger to that and won't need to worry about boost breaking a rod (which is the weak point on these engines). So for another 5-8K you could get another 100+ HP and ft/lb torque out of it. And no changes to wiring harness etc. Original Toyota power plant.

Can you give some detail, durburb or DYI? I was thinking of doing getting one
CSK out in Cali. He is Hwood on dieselplace and sells on ebay where I bought mine. 2004 Sub with 2005 LLY Dmax, Ally, and Diff. Really awesome. Mine was hit in the front end at around 80k. Donor was a fleet service truck that was rear ended so never towed and a 2wd. So he swapped the front ends so my sub has the hd front end which I like better. Have about 60k miles on it and only repair has been the water pump but the a/c clutch may have gone out last week.
I'm at the point of just parking it for towing to the races or driving it and rebuilding the suspension/seats/stereo. May downgrade from a 28' enclosed for the races to something that our LX could tow or get the wife a 570....decisions.
Thanks, I have seen some of his posts and sales on the fleabay. I too am thinking the 200 route. Hell I might just LSX the 80 and upgrade the brakes. One reason I want the D-burb is the room for all my crap and dogs on hunting trips. The bigger boat would be the bonus. Yours MPG low 20's not towing?
No idea what my mileage is honestly. With twin tanks which one will slosh fuel into makes it difficult. That reminds me the only issue I have with the conversion is sometimes I have to feather the diesel into the tank at the pump. There are fixes for that but really the only complaint.
I have always wondered how people get by without a suburban and don't understand why there are so many pickups-I can put everything in there that a pu can except a fridge and it won't get rained on or stolen. I understand if you are hauling grass, dirt, rock etc which most never do. Because you sure can fit a lot more junk in it.
It will be hard to get rid of because it's such a good tow truck.

If he would detail or at least clean the engine bay, maybe he would sell it faster.
