06 Pre runner to 4wd

Probably a zillion threads on this, but is there a link to a list off parts needed to switch from a 4.0 auto prerunner to an auto 4wd ? I can and will do all the work... I have done five swaps from a 1jz/supra to a SBC swap into a 240. No worries in flaming for noob thread, but at least send me in the right directio.

go to your nearest Toyota dealer and trade it in on a 4x

seriously, WTF ??! The cost and time aren't worth it............

 

I've read up on this as well and there are more differences between a Prerunner and a 4x4 from the 05+, it requires ALOT of fabrications and i found it to be too much of a headache to consider, i think the thread was on TTORA i believe but dont quote me

 

Well do it if you want but its really not worth the effort

 

there was a thread on here on the first 2nd gen prerunner-4wd swap on TW

 

SAS is a bit of fab and new parts, oem IFS parts is all bolt in...IFS parts used in good condition from a salvage yard could be around 3-5k. Try and google my other thread on TTORA for the first half.

 

You will have to swap in a 4wd transmission, or use the Inchworm '05+ prerunner adapter with a 4wd tranny tail-housing. Then you can use an FJ cruiser manual shifting transfer case.

Then you will need:
Front Diff
ADD wiring to activate front diff (might not need it with FJ Case? check out Rock Solid Toys)
C/V axles
4wd hubs to swap into the spindles
etc., can't remember off the top of my head.

With a 4x4 transmission you will have to fab a new crossmember.

Here is a thread on about the swap with the 4x4 tranny and marlin taco box:

Thanks for the replies.

 

if i end keeping my tacoma and use it a trail rig ill most likely get the inchworm adapter for my 1st gen.

great product.

most of the 4wd conversions (for 2nd gens) iv seen have been way to costly and people end up never finishing but i do know there are few on TTORA http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...-tacomas/2nd-gen-tacomas/2nd...-4x4-swap.html

So if I were to buy a totaled 4x4. It would be easier then correct? Every thing would be bolt on then? As far as trading it in, I am still upside down in it so that is not an option. Take into consideration I am not afraid of wiring or fabrication. I am in the middle of this

 

I paid $1500 for a donor 4x4 that rolled over like a log. the whole drive train was still good, while the only frame damage was under the tailgate. the cab was pretty smashed in, but I didn't need anything from it.

I also pulled all of the 4wd wiring out of the main harness. not too bad, maybe 25ft overall.

Nice MK3, I had one for a few years and sold it after rebuilding the engine..put about 300 miles on it

 

If he still has the OEM spindles in I don't think he will need to get new ones. I believe the prerunner and 4x4 have the same spindles, the prerunners just have a cap over the hole that our cv's go through. Pop out the cap and you can put the cv through it.
