    @Speedytech7would you happen to know what the difference is between a 2wd and 4x4 ecu... specifically for a 3.4 5 speed

    My 3.4 5 speed 2wd tundras ecu may have taken a dump

    My buddies 4x4 5vz auto 4 runners ecu took a dump and we put a 5vz 2wd ecu... worked mint 4x4 engaged... the lights even worked

    Would I notice a difference if I plugged in a 3.4 5 speed 4x4 ecu on a 3.4 5 speed 2wd?

    I've done a mod or two
    Just the 4wd input, but I really don't know what the input does in the ECU.

    defer to @Speedytech7 but as if i recall correctly, there should be no difference between them. The 2WD ECU is the same with the 4WD. The difference is where AT vs MT is concerned (at least on the tacoma, can't say for the 4Runner but I bet they are the same. Check the part numbers (2WD model and 4WD model), if they're the same you have your confirmation.

    Probably timing for more torque assuming you're offroad

    That's what it felt like in my 95 anyway

    Mainly got them to hold the big panels to the frame rail ends on the LC; the tubing is what..3" by 5"?

    Noticed the little rubber pads slip right off, guess I can weld with them with no fear of melting parts.

    @Abeyancer how do you feel about an early 90s Coleman / Briggs and Stratton generator… for $150?

    Feels steep to me.

    something like this

    They have a bad phone rep, he transferred me to someone who wasn't there. Everyone in car sales knows you don't put customers to a voicemail unless they request it. That call should have come back to him so he could find someone to answer my questions. They also didn't know it was at the BMW used lot. He was sure it would be at the Mini lot.

    Thanks for trying! I can't believe they transferred you to someone who wasn't there. Weirdos.
    It was the mellowest, zero pressure dealer I've ever experienced so maybe they're just like, "Eh, doesn't matter, we'll get back to em later."

    Gonna trim it out with wood on the right side. Wanted it pushed as far to the left as possible to have more room for cabinets on the inside.
