PreRunner to 4x4 Build

where did you hide the wiring to the back up camera? thats pretty cool

 

In my headliner then ran it under my carpet and out of a grommet to the back

 

Saw you on 5th street today man. Sick truck

 

Thanks man, you got the black 2nd gen ? I'm on mobile so I can't see haha

 

Haha yeah man. 6 inches on heavy ass 35s

Sick truck. Any chance you have a pic of the led dash bulbs? I wanna get the same ones. Aloha

Here Ya go

 

Awesome thanks. Approx how many total in the dash? Brah one day I hope my truck is half as sick as yours. I'm gonna be doing a retro hid and was thinking of using the infinity q45 projectors. They are pretty big and will fill the housing nicely I imagine.

 

Think it'll work?

 

Preciate the kind words Time and more importantly money haha and I mean I don't know how much retrofitting will need to be done to do it but its definitely possible. You only need 4 bulbs for the dash

 

How hard was it to wire the corner lights as blinkers?

 

Not hard at all, I did a write up on here with a diagram that takes the guess work out of it haha

 

Well supercharger was next on the list... then I got this

 

Not much to update other then re tinting the truck. Dropped the transmission and replaced my flexplate by myself in about 2 days haha. Passing 214,017 miles. Got a Toyota water pump and timing belt kit along with lower ball joints waiting to get out on whenever i stop being lazy.

 

I know this is more than a simple question..but, any advice on a pre runner to 4wd conversion? Looking at a 02 double cab pre runner with less than 100k. Super hard to find these trucks anymore. 4wd is a must for me so I was thinking of swapping it myself immediately if I were to by it. I would also do manual locking hubs to avoid any electronic crap. Figured I could swap everything for around 2k or under? I've got a list going and price checking. This is what I got so far

-4wd tranny (auto) possible torque converter?? Hear they have different stalls between 2wd vs 4wd
-T case
-Front diff with mounts
-CV's
-4wd hubs w/ manual locking
-4wd rear and front drive shafts
-Misc interior console, shifter, boots, etc

Anything else?? Thanks in advance!

 

Im actually finishing my swap today on my 03 double cab
Only think i see you missed is the mount for the transfer case
The piece that goes between crossmember and tcase
And a plate that the shifters go through unless you have tools to cut yours out

And yea 2k is a decent price point
I think i got all my pieces for my swap at around a grand
And then oil and seals and what not tack on quick so if you start with 2 grand and can do the work yourself your probably set

 

Awesome, appreciate it! Really doesnt seem that bad. Especially how hard to find a 4x4 1st gen is anymore. But, the pre runners are plentiful and low miles. Are you doing manual locking hubs also?

 

Yea
J shift transfer case with manual hubs
