prerunner into a 4x4

Bro...You seem pretty fucking dense. You say you bring "reality" but I guess reading isn't part of your "reality"

This isn't some shade tree mech throwing out a random ass price for shits and giggles. These numbers from folks who HAVE DONE IT....Specific parts lists and full understanding of what they are doing.

 

Have you ever worked on a truck? Are you a complete ass? There is nothing excessively complicated about the swap. The frame has the holes and brackets on it, one has to add a transfer case, front differential, change the driveshafts, spindles and add front axle shafts. I am fairly certain that I have the tools in my garage to accomplish the job, no phillips head required.

 

Did he use pliers and a phillips screwdriver?

 

AhHa! Pics or it didn't happen!

 

Oh no....Now who is being a cry baby.

 

hey I just read it and it seems like just about anyone can do it.... specially if you buy the parts from a matching year becauese al you have to do is swap them out... I have an 02 3.4L prerunner td off road pack with read lokcs and the first thing i posted on here was the crazzy idea of making it a 4x4 it dosent seem that crazzy any more or hard my other off the wall idea was makeing my v6 into a v8 but I think that will be more work than what I'd like to do the TTORA.com page said it cost about $1400 or so....

 

Chris hit it on the head- I don't take well to being told I'm wrong when there is clear evidence that I'm right. Read, listen, understand...Then try to posit your opinions as fact- and be ready for folks to bring the pain if you are wrong.

 

Sorry for losing my temper.

 

I would find someone who is getting there truck bought back to toyota to be sent to the crusher and see if you can get parts from them. There is also a girl named rotirunner? she is parting out a truck but she just wants the bed and rear axle.

Here she is

I didn't say don't question- I said don't question when there is clear evidence. You can read the links and see that it's happened. Gotta do the sensible thing...

 

thanks BG

 

This is awesome!

 

Back on topic: The guy on TTORA that did it on an 05+ prerunner username was mod-sqd. He is the only non-SAC 05+ to ifs 4x4 conversion I have seen. I dont know if he is on here but it might be worth a try to PM him on TTORA.

 

we're not allowed to leave rep for Johnv?

 

oh okay. haha I was reading through this and was like WTF is this guys problem. then I saw he was from jersey and all I could picture was him being one of those Dbags from "jersey shore"

 

Me too.

He is on temporary hiatus.

 

I want to do the same thing. I want a solid from end but te Prerunner is made to accept independent. And the only front end worth using is a Dana 44 and its bigger than te rear end. So I think I'll go IFS if I get a good deal on one.
