Adding cruise control

Does anyone know if the 02 prerunners were available with cruise control?

If it was, how hard would it be to remove everything from a wrecked one and put it on a good one that doesn't have it now?

If it wasn't are there years where it was that would fit the 02?

And failing all that, is there a decent aftermarket kit to add it to a vehicle that doesn't have it from the factory?

 

Gonna try one bump....

I've been through at least a dozen vehicles in my driving life. Never had cruise in any of them. Now the rental car I have has it...and I'm hooked!
So really wanna try to get it on the truck.

 

I put one of these kits on my motorcycle and it works GREAT! You can find the kit for less than $100 online.
Maybe that would work?

a few hundred dollar option at your local dealer.
you can add cruise to anything.

 

sweet...thanks all.

 

You ever find a factory cruise control to add to your rig? I'm thinking of doing the same thing and thought if you already did it you might have some tips.

Thanks

x3. I got a 96 without cruise and would like to add it. What options are there for adding cruise?

 

It's true, I got my CC yesterday and installed the actuator, took photos but then got to the wiring and the dang instructions might as well been in Chinese I browsed the Toy manual trying to find the VSS wires and the tach wires and nothing was where it was supposed to be. I did get ahold of a guy from the manufacturer and he has me on the right path now and since I have an Automatic he said I don't have to hook up the tach wire - pretty cool! I wanted to get it done for a trip to Montana this weekend but I'll keep working on it next week and hopefully get something written up in a week or two with photos.

I'll keep you guys posted.

 

Are you using a Rostra 250-1223? Any other manufacturers available? Where is a good place to buy from?

 

Got the cruise up and working yesterday - woohoo! It's the:
Rosta Universal Cruise Control 250-1223,
Switch 250-3742

I got them from http://cruisecontrolstore.com/ for $249.90 I did have a couple of issues and emailed Rostra and they responded the same day with some answers (very helpful). I did find one wire that was incorrectly label. I think the brake switch they had said use a green/red and mine was a green/yellow but overall it went good. I took a bunch of photos and will be making some revisions to how it's laid out but am happy overall.

Dang thing makes a funny noise when starting or changing speeds (probably the servo in the black box) but it's sure going to make the long drives nice.

I'll write up a report with photos sometime in the next week or two and put them up for everyone to see, ask, etc.

 

Sweet i cant wait to see the write up!!

 

Any news on a write up on this. I am planning on doing some long distance driving soon and would love to see any lessons learned.

 

i'm happier then a pig in shit that someones going to write this up... the biggest upset in me buying this truck was lack of cruise control!

 

subbed cant wait for a writeup my 2k needs cruise and power steering LOL base model all the way modding it for life

 

Well when i get back to the statesthis is first on my list of things i will be doing.
I am looking into thread "Add Factory Cruise Control to your 1st GenTacoma" for some tips but more than likely will be going for the http://cruisecontrolstore.com/.

 

Crap! I thought I wrote something up for this Thanks for reminding me. I'll get off my azz and get started. Here's a sample of what you need to do - LOL



I actually have a bunch of photos but will put together something and give you guys a link. It won't be today tho as I'm working on motorcycles and a variety of other projects but thanks for the kick in the pants.

 

Trying to make me look bad? I created my own thread
