Lucky 07 PreRunner to 4x4 Conversion

Correction: I put the tail off of post 1 and 4, but it would still work if you used 6 and 3.

 

1 and 4 have the tails that go to the ADD plug red and black/white.... 6 and 3 will also work. Just correcting my earlier post.

 

Lots of good threads on RST for this:

Thanks.. one of those I hadnt seen before. What I found from these threads is that some have opted for the momentary, some not, each with good results. I'm still on the fence on which way I'll go.

 

Sub'd and damn excited.
I wanna do this maybe one day. But not the dual sticks.

 

While waiting on the final few nuts and bolts to allow me to install the clam, cvs, etc... I started thinking preventative maintenance and got the bright idea to open up my fully operational ADD actuator, solder the contacts, apply some fresh grease, and seal that baby up. Well, the ADD housing did not survive that idea. All 5 bolts twisted off... and the plastic side of the actuator is damaged to the point I dont think it will seal again. I have one of those reverse extractors, but it aint gettin 'r done.

If anyone has a bad actuator they want to sell, let me know. My internals are good, just need a new housing.

I know I can get an ADD tube w/ actuator form justdifferentials for $200, but all I need is an actuator housing. I'm guessing I can get that for less than $200.

Let me know.

 

So, how is the project going ?

 

Hope this doesn't turn into most other threads. OP starts gets us all excited and then boom gone like this mornings cheerios

 

X2

Very interested on doing this when OP finishes his

 

Its still happening. Short delay due to travel, kids on spring break, and an ADD actuator issue that I'm working out.

 

Any updates on this?

 

wondering if theres any updates also

 

Long break in the action. Update... Yesterday bought 4x4 hubs from Bama, 07 FJ xfer case, front drive shaft and another clamshell with actuator. I also picked up some OEM CVs that I'll have rebuilt at a local shop. I'll be using the new aftermarket CVs for the time being.

 

Thanks for the update. I was getting worried.

 

anything else?

 

Update. Got some work done today. Diff, CV's, and BamaToy1997 4x4 Hub assemblies installed. Went pretty smooth, although I accidentally broke the speed sensor on passenger side. Price for replacement at A-Zone was $233. I still need to run my switch to the ADD and route the breather hoses to somewhere high in the engine bay.

Pre-runner hubs out - new seal pressed in.


New 4x4 Hubs from BamaToy1997 - Thanks Bill, they're awesome!


Hub on.


Clamshell set.


Cvs in.




All back together!


Hopefully in the next week or so I can do the twin sticks on my xfer case. Then swap transmission, build new crossmember and shortne rear driveshaft. More to come.

 

i really like the way you're doing it piece by piece, that's what i plan on doing. i come close to buying all the parts at once all the time but spending that much scares the shit out of me haha

 

I really like this too. Piece by piece.
Makes life easier and maybe a little easier to justify with the wife. Lol

 

Breathers...
