Prerunner to 4X4 conversion, concluded

The 4wd computer has 2 plugs(one for dash lights, switch,power, and the other goes to engine bay) they you have one plug on the tcase and one on the front add. So 4 total plugs. Shound have a pic of the wiring in my build thread.

 

After the first picture I was hooked for the whole thread , Thank you for sharing great work

 

Nice job! Putting together the parts list to convert mine. Going the FJ T-case route though...I just prefer a manual case.

 

What

That's it????

 

I did mine for about $1900.

 

Yeap

 

Manual case would substantially cut down the amount of wiring required and maybe OP's initial headache. Pretty cool to see how feasible this swap is. I am contemplating it myself, would make for a fun weekend.

 

Hows the truck running and updates on maintenance? Great write up

 

So far so good. Just normal maintenance, none issues.

 

Just bought my first truck, a '13 QC Prerunner...I'd like to convert to 4x4...can you please send over a parts list...that is awesome!

I know it’s possible but couldn’t find anyone detailing their process of converting the A750 tailhousing from E to F, ie, not swapping the whole trans but rather just modify the output so an xfer case can be bolted on. Anyone?

 

From what I found, it’s easier to swap the whole trans since just the output wound mean disassembling the entire trans to get the tail shaft and output swapped

 

I did this on the A340. I think the process is roughly the same. I bought the "F" version of the output shaft and tailhousing. Then I pulled the transmission and dropped it off at a reputable transmission shop with the parts. They charged me $250 to swap the output shaft.

 

Joe off topic but do you have a trans cooler lol?

 

Nope. I didn’t have one when I had an auto. But I’ve since swapped to a manual.

 

my trans temps getting pretty high in 4lo, gonna install one soon.

 

the output shaft is longer from E to F
i added the inchworm spacer and cut the shaft to then add the rear tail from the "F" transmission for it work

prerunner rear tail removed:


4x4 tail with spacer



(2nd line to right is how much i cut off and was perfect for the t-case to slide over shaft and engage)

 

Awesome, thanks for the pics. Perfect answer to my question!!

 

Shouldn’t your temps be better in 4LO than in 4HI.
