    You can see the box I'm talking about in that lower corner. I'm tubing the firewall/wheel well there and if I can get that out of there or at least not shit my pants if I cut the wires that would be nice. My FSM is on the laptop I dont feel like starting up LOL. No more 4wd computer or elocker stuff needed for me.

    yep, thats what I found when I was looking over the docs.
    brown box is for the elocker & 4x4 ecu. that trans relay is on the passenger side kick panel

    I think the silver 4WD ECU (above the glove box) would be needed as well. The PreRunner's has a separate 2WD ECU there

    The e-locker and 4WD brown ECU are one in the same. We don't need that one Dan. The trans control relay and the 4WD ECU above the glove box. There is also that 4WD ECU above the airbag sensor control ECU (center console behind ash tray). Don't need that one unless going with the push button 2-4 selector.

    Yup just went out in the garage and looked thanks.

    I have both 4wd boxes and if the op wants both I'll toss them both in the box.

    Same to @Empty_Lord if the op doesn't take it.

    Cruise controls staying LOL

    Lol it's the drive to and from the trail, its cush man, AC with the cruise control going and my power Camry seats!!!

    I dont drive it in the winter unless I'm doing a home depot run that's a few blocks from my house. Other than that it was going north or south on 355 to my old job. Trying to start a biz so I may be running around where ever clients are so you may see it in your neck of the woods some day.

    I usually only see TW members or wheelers when I'm in my old man spec 03 avalon LOL
