    It might be a little difficult since you have a MT. The MT FJs have full time 4wd.

    I have seen couple of thread here installed the fj cruiser T-case
    Do you think guys it's possible to make the tacoma full time 4WD like the fj
    I'm thinking also about installing the fj cruiser front diff and axels to make the tacoma completly like the 6MT fj cruiser

    It would be allot of work. The auto isn't as daunting of a switch because the transfer cases are the same. I don't know how it will be with the mt.
