prerunner into a 4x4

Whew... That one is a quick and dirty. I think I need a shower just after reading those two posts.

Ok, yeah... now you are just showing off.

 

ok is this because water or mud(wet) touched something and shorted it out? what could it get to ?

 

yea but then no warrranty and no 4.0L and all that comes with a 06-08 taco, with rear diff locks and 4x4 one has got to get u out, and if elocker goes out then it stays locked so u get out either way. then repairs of course. i just have looked for about 3 years and everything(4x4) under 05 is in such horrible condition, oh they look good on the outside but thats it by far..

 

3.4 is the v6 under 05, and i havent ran into an 05 or under yet that was still under warranty and i have looked and looked and looked, its all good to me if they do it for free.rather then me spending all types of money for parts, then finding and having to pay someone to install. my health is not good for all that jazz.

 

^If thats a question then the answer is yes. If not then sorry.

 

i was sayin that 3.4 is all u get under 05

 

I didn't see that you had a later model truck, sorry about that. At least it gives you an idea of how much it costs though.....

 

I have been hunting around for parts for a prerunner conversion. A few questions I'm trying to find answers to:

Is the A340F a straight swap for the A340E? I know I'll need to cut the floor for the shifter but I was mainly concerned about cooling lines, linkage, wiring etc.
Can the RZ bellhousing on the A340E be used to replace the VZ housing on a A340F?
Does the A340F use the same crossmember to support it as the A340E but just a different mount?
Are A340F drive shafts different sizes depending on access cab and regular cab? ie are they interchangeable?
Can a ADD front diff be used for the conversion?
Can ADD be disconnected to be made manual?

 

Thanks for that Chris. Any suggestions on finding one? Not having much luck so far. Found a transmission and transfer in Phoenix which I thought was going to be the hard part.

 

I put an ad up over at TTORA. Until parts start showing up I'll just install my ARB rear locker and new 4.88 gears

 

Found a wrecked 2000 4cyl 4x4 with 44000 miles. Able to get front diff non ADD with 430 gears (same as mine), ATransmission and Manual transfer case, front spindles with manual hubs and drive shafts for $2700..gulp. Actually price isn't so bad I guess for low mileage parts and exactly what I want...all manual. The price includes delivery to the door and one-year warranty on parts.

Does this seem reasonable? Would be good to get the complete package in one. Could probably find parts cheaper but it take a lot of time and searching. Comments??

 

Thanks Chris. Like I said, I could spend the next year looking and buying a little at a time. Could prob save a grand if I'm lucky but time is money! Thanks again!
