convert 2wd to 4wd

I recently bought an automatic 2wd 2001 4runner. I was looking for a manual 4wd but my car got totalled and I ran out of time to find what I was looking for. So my question is, is it possible that I can swap in a 4wd manual drivetrain.

 

As a first gen, if you do the work yourself, it's been done for about a grand

 

do you know what needs to be done to the wiring hareness and ecu?

 

Search 4WD conversion on here, there's a couple

 

mines a 3rd gen so i have a feeling its going to be complicated and more money

 

Look for ChildrenofBodom's build on t4r. He converted a 3rd gen from auto 2wd to stick 4wd. I can't remember the specifics but it would be easier to trade yours for a 4wd if that's possible. If not then it can be done!

 

Easier yes, worth more expensive, most likely! Everything pre-2005 is pretty easy to swap around, hit up a junk yard and find the right parts and bolt them right in and you're a 4x4

 

Shit, just get a 4 wd badge and avoid snow storms and off roading.

 

Orrrr spend a grand, install it yourself and have a 4wd?
