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

Out of curiosity has anyone compared the front and rear lockers? I'm sure there probably different but are that that different?

 

yea they are

 

Have you called junk yards? Between the Tacoma 4Runner and fj you have a better chance of finding local

 

How about the front elocker already inside the diff?

 

?? There is no locker, it's an open diff, or are you talking about the add?

 

I was told its an option that some tacomas came with

 

Not that I've ever herd. Only factory one is in the rear.

 

I'll check it out then

 

Are you thinking of doing an fj tcase or stock?

 

From the reasurch I've done you can harvest the front diff and cv axels from the 4th gen 4Runner v6or Tacoma.
Front drive share needs to be from a Tacoma unless you want to modify the 4Runner(it's Leingth is different than taco because of the center limited slip).
The transmittion can come from a 4gen 4Runner v6 or Tacoma v6 (A750F)
Tcase from an auto fj
As for wheel bearing/hubs, go with nj636 or bamatoy1997 they both build hub assemblies on here.
The tranny cross member I've herd some use the stock 4x one, others say it needs to be cut and welded?!? Idk
Rear drive shaft needs to be modified, the 4x one had the carrier baring in a different location so it's better to get a shop to modify

 

Sweet. I'll look into that, the CV axles are what I couldn't find yet, so that helps alot

 

rockauto has CV's for a fair price, they have an option for upgraded boots.

 

I need to start making a list, my head is spinning from all this info.

 

I live it though

I know some of it is 4Runner but still good reading @tacokrys http://www.toyota120.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18788&page=1

 

Don't forget that the 4runner trail edition also has a manual t-case, but odds are you will probably FJ t-case first and cheaper.

 

Like luka said, rock auto, Amazon, or any auto parts store. Also a place in Denver I've herd builds stronger cv's I think there name was cvj.

 

I know how you feel! I'm doing the same right now.

 

if using the stock system, you'll need the 4wd ecu and plugs/wiring. I'm slowly building a reference list of the plug part numbers and found a place that sells the wire terminals in bulk. the ecu's show up on ebay and not that expensive.
