2nd gen Tacoma 4x4 conversion

I am planning on converting my 2007 Tacoma Sr5 long bed access cab to a 4x4 with an FJ cruiser's tcase. Some insight into what parts I will need.

 

It takes little research.
I highly recommend when you buy front differential make sure all the bolts and Mounting bracket comes with it.
Check out my 4wd conversion album for more info.

 

SELL IT AND BUY A 4X4!!!!

 

I agree with @BWilley sell and buy a 4x4. Save yourself the headache and time. Plus it’s better to have a truck that was built that way already

 

If your are only here to tell me to sell and buy a 4x4 do me and yourself a favor and don't. There is most likely nothing you can tell me I haven't already heard; I have my reasons.

 

Do you own a welder?

 

Yes

 

That's cool. Well there are several threads on this you can pull up on what is needed.

 

Ok, good. You're gonna need it.

 

Can I check out your truck sometime. I’m still in the planing phase for my conversion

 

Here is an option I’ve considered https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/free-wheel-hub-conversion.511528/
With an FJ transfer case totally manual
@05Taco4x4 did that

 

search. there are a few threads on the coversions.

 

I'm more than willing to. Hit me up we could work out a day to meet up near my place.

 

Will the a750f from a FJ work?

 

btw I called Wyatt from RST and his forum will unfortunately not be rebooted. There was comprehensive info on the conversion there but other companies were stealing his work so he had to shut it down. What did you do about your crossmember mount @Sae68 ?

 

FJ and 4runner A750F will work.
About crossmember I basically level the top surface.

id start with a straight jacket

 

Ive read that the mounting holes on the frame for the transmission crossmember were either forward or back an inch. You didnt encounter this problem?

 

If I was gonna go through this much effort, I would go through a little more and build a 6x6 instead. Seen a couple on the internet and they look tits!!!
