Always a parts list. Solid axle, 35's, gears. The transfer case is a start.

 

Rick @pray4surf did the conversion on his Prerunner, and should have some "hot-skinny" on the subject.

 

@2000man pelfrey has a 15% off sale! ...but it's for skids

 

Having been called out by @Drainbung - I don't have any answer on this. My transmission came with the transfer case, out of a V6 4runner...
I only needed to swap bellhousings and re-use the 4cyl torque converter to mate the V6 tranny/xfer case to my 2.7 4cyl. Of course, the electrical connections needed more massaging... The FSM is valuable.

 

You should get some eight-lug hubs to go with that transfer case. Go big or go home.

 

Wasn't someone on here looking for AP Standard leaf springs?

@anthony250f ? was that you?

 

Yeah I was!! I actually just found some dakars for the same price...think I'm gonna go with the dakars instead

 

I love my AP standards but they're too soft if you have a weekends worth of camping supplies in the bed. Otherwise they're perfect haha. Dakars are awesome, a set of those with 12" shocks will be my next setup when I get a 4x4.

 

I guess I should have posted about a parking lot meet instead of actual offroading

 

another question for ya So I've read that you can use the front driveshaft from the pre runner(and i think add a spacer), but you'll need both portions of the rear driveshaft from a 4wd- is that true or did you just get a whole driveshaft from a 4wd?
thanks!

 

Prerunners don't have front driveshafts??

Just get front /rear shafts from a 4wd

 

my bad, i worded that all wrong, I meant the front section rear driveshaft, not the front driveshaft its self- Can i use the front half of the 2wd rear driveshaft paired with the rear half of the 4wd driveshaft? yup thats the real question here. ahah sorry its been a long ass week

 

Actually I think you're right. It would be easier to just do the entire 4wd shaft though

 

ahah okay sorry i'm all over the place today, i edited my original post lol

 

It's the Pre Fiesta Island Stress Syndrome! Ten deep breaths and a six-pack, you'll be fine.

 

lol seriously I need 6 beers! STAT!

 

Madison - in my case I picked up a used 'front' driveshaft and had the 'front-portion' of the rear driveshaft altered. Both pieces had to be altered actually. The aft portion of the rear driveshaft was left alone...

 

How do you feel about going there next weekend?

 

Mountain bike riding?

 

Yeah there are actually a couple of us in SD that mountainbike
