[FONT=&quot]interior center plastic (around shifter)[/FONT]

 

Good luck finding parts, its a bitch

 

I know, I was following your build. It was also what gave me the inspiration. I figured i would see what I could find on here as well as other online sites. I am in no hurry. Do you have any pointers? Did I miss anything off my list?

 

Nope looks like you got it all listed, only pointers I can give is to always look for parts, ttora always has parts for sale

 

I have aisin manual locking hubs for sale

 

Well shit. Catch me in about a year when I SAC.

 

What are you looking to get out of them? what is the condition? I am not sure if I am going to go with manual hubs, but might be interested

 

I will probably still be looking for parts so i will keep that in mind

 

Does anyone know if a 1997 Four Runner 3.4 4x4 parts will work? I got a PM on a steal for all of the parts and it is local. just don't know if they will bolt up.

 

Yes just make sure the gear ratios are the same

 

Well I lucked out finding my parts for the conversion. I was able to locate a 98 4Runner at a local junkyard. I was surprised that all the 4x4 parts were still on the truck. I was able to work a deal with the junkyard owner. $1000 for everything and they remove the parts. I am also expecting my bumpers and rock sliders to be in next week, and he is going to give me $250 for my old bumpers, step bars, and a few other OEM parts.

So far that brings my total to $750. I still need the interior plastic but new at Toyota is only $58. With the money I have saved I think I will take the transmission and T-case to a local transmission shop and have them go through it. Also probably pick up some new CVs

 

Good deal! make sure you check the ball joints on the used stuff and also the wheel bearings
