2x to 4x conversion for my 2nd gen (14)

My friend @luka has also done a prerunner to 4x4 conversion.

 

Ok, sweet. I guess my next step is researching and acquiring the parts

 

To help source parts http://www.car-part.com/

I'm picking up parts Monday, got a good deel on all 4Runner parts from salvage yard. Same parts as taco just cost less.

 

Found all my parts on www.car-parts.com.
And with a fj case you won't need a computer to control it you just stick it in 4l,4h and go

 

Hmm, I wonder why that is? @ahspurlock so aka I won't need that ADD system?

 

I was looking at that same website too. Do the parts come with the seals too?

 

no you will still need the ADD thats what turns on the front diff but RST makes a plug and play switch for that it runs like $130 for it

 

Righty o, I'll look into that. So I found most of the parts, only thing I can't find are the 2 front axles.

 

most junk yards have them for $30 a axle or just go buy new ones from a parts store

 

Doesn't he need the Fj case from a 6 speed ? Or is that the full time 4wd one ?

 

Auto, and to fit it well you should do twin sticks conversion

 

the 6speed is full time he will need one from a auto

 

i dont like the twin stick to much bullshit to remember thats why i just stayed with the stock shifter still need to put in the upper boot

 

So its almost easier, and cheaper to use a Tacoma transfer case

 

to cus you will have to find a way to make it shift in and out of 4wd

 

all the info you need is right here

You can make your own ADD switch and harness. It's pretty easy. The wiring diagram is on RST. I'll post it here if you can't find it. It's just a connector, DPDT rocker switch and some wire. Do it yourself and save $100. Plus you'll get an understanding of the system in case you need to troubleshoot an issue later.

 

No. It's a huge pain. I went the stock Tacoma t-case route and it sucked. I'm about to pull it out and swap to an FJ case.

 

Manual T case all the way. I have the tacoma t case I'd sell you cheap, but shipping will be high, and you'd regret it

 

@tacokrys where are you located. If you are really interested in doing the Tacoma t-case, I will sell you my setup.
