PreRunner to 4x4 Conversion Guide

I’m needing some help with my 4x4. For the second time in my conversions life the add switch isn’t working. The first time the fuse blew to the switch. This time not so lucky it’s that easy. I have checked all the powers and grounds to and thru the switch, tested the switch and everything seems ok. I pulled the harness at the add and tested ground ok. I am confused as to the yellow wire, mine has power all the time. What can I look at next that I’m missing?

also, if anyone has the rst harness and dPdt switch where can I wire an indicator light to? The light in the switch is very dim and I can see it. Thanks

 

What did you connect to the nipple on the left side of the transfer case shifter.

 

when i did my conversion recently i just used a hose from the autoparts store...its just a breather anyways

 

Ok, so I have one hooked up to the one at the right side. I guess I need to put one on there then. What does it exactly do? Thanks for replying to the message.

 

actually i just reread your msg...mines on the right of the shifter not the left...you have 2?? (left side as well?)

 

yeah one at the right if the shifter and on the left of the shifter a little in front

 

Will be swapping a fj case and crawl box into mine soon. Very excited

 

so I'm going to use a 4x4 driveshaft how do you adjust the crossmember for the carrier bearing?

 

For the DCLB I just drilled the rivets and moved the cross member back to an existing set of holes and bolted it in

 

i saw that post already but mine doesnt have anymore holes

 

Hello I have a 2006 prerunner and want to start getting all major parts for the FJ CRUISER transfer what year do I search for to purchase? also do I order a fj cruiser differential? Can I also use the fj cruiser oem transfer case and rod? THANKS

Just finished my 4x4 conversion today thanks for all the info

 

How long did it take you to get all the different parts needed for the conversion?

 

Got all the major things pretty quick, what I had to wait the most on was the small parts. I started getting parts on 1/25 and had everything last Monday.

 

Oh snapppp got some pictures? A quick breakdown of how you did it? ADD or no? Fj single or twin stick (saw your posts talking about trying to find stock one). How did it go with the driveshaft? Basically everything lol

 

I just mostly followed this post and a little of others. I did ADD just wired the hardness myself and welded the transmission support ,fuck paying 169 for a switch and 365 for the rst parts( I ain't rich). I went single, one of the members here messaged me and sold me an extra one he had left over. Of and the driveshaft did fit, barley but it fit .

 

i need to go back in and wire the lights on the dash on my swap.
good idea on the center console for the shifter.
i have mine there as well.

 

I approve of your conversion. Shifter is in the right spot, done on the cheap, lights all work. Well done.

 

looks great! I’m finishing mine this weekend. Which shifter did you end up using and how did you modify it? I don’t have a welder so I’m trying to get around a complete custom job.
