1st gen upgrades pending

I just bought a 1st gen tacoma v6 automatic trans. It does not have the electric locking diff , nor does it have 4x4

I plan on converting it to 4x4 in the comming weeks.. any advice? And what i need to have to before starting.

 

Help us out a bit on details.

What engine do you have?

Is this a Prerunner?

How many lug nuts on the wheels?

Welcome to TW!

 

Engine: 3.4l v6

Automatic transmision with over drive switch.

Pre runner: how can I tell?.. it has trd sport sticker on it, but the previous owner re sprayed it so the stickers could be fake.

Lug nuts : 6

 

Cool! I was worried you had a 5 lug truck. Those can't be converted.

There was no Sport Addition, but there where Prerunners. You have 6 lugs so things are looking good.

Nice.. so what else can you tell me

 

Become a member of the Toyotaowners.com web site, enter your VIN and find out what model you actually have as well as what service has been done to the truck.

Report what find.

And welcome.

 

The vin number has been sprayed over

 

I go on t4r dot org where Tool time Timmy has a thread for his repair vids, which are neat!

 

You must have a title or registration. The VIN is on those papers.
