All wheel drive, compound turbo, TDI swap Volkswagen Caddy
I wanted a truck that was all wheel drive got 50 miles to the gallon and could tow 3500 lbs. I ended up purchasing a 2005 Toyota Tacoma with a manual transmission. That was the closest thing available in the United states at the time.
So after a couple months of Tacoma ownership I realized how disappointed I was with the fuel mileage and towing capacity of this little truck. I remembered a friend I had who's dad had a ton of old VW rabbit pickups. I told another friend of mine about them and he said lets go look at them.
My friend Scotty and I took a trip over to my friends house and when we pulled up Scotty couldn't believe his eyes. 11 Volkswagen Rabbits lined up behind a fence, all sitting on tarps with there engines and transmissions removed.
I later worked a deal between my friend, Scotty and me to purchase and remove all the trucks. Scotty got one I got one and we were to restore the rest and sell them off. As is life, this didn't go according to plan and we ended up liquidating most of them.
I then moved it to JP Autoworks where my friend Jasen then convinced me that if I was going to do all that work I might as well swap the whole MK4 floor pan so I have newer suspension and tunnel. He had a good point so I went along with it.
As shops closed and moved the truck was moved many times. I also moved 3 times during this process so the truck traveled all Utah, Nevada and Southern California. As you will see it is almost finished and I went way overboard from my first requirements. Enjoy
