Let’s get the Journey going!

Hello Everyone!

I have a 2002 Tacoma TRD 4x2. Which I’m looking to convert to a 4x4. I know it’s probably be cheaper and better to sell and buy a 4x4. However, that’s not an option. I have an idea of what parts I need to buy, but I’m stuck. My truck is a v6 engine 5ve-fe. I found the proper transmission for the engine what I’m having trouble with is the transfer case. I’m looking for the mechanical J-shift TC. However I can’t find what year it was made or a code to try to find it. Or even if it will work with the transmission I need. Second Let’s say I go with the new Button style I can’t find a wiring diagram or harness.

Any information will be a huge help. Thank you all in advance.


Parts I know I need:
4WD Transmission
Transfer case
Front differential
CV axle shafts
Manual hub
Wheel hub bearings
Front drive shaft
Rear drive shaft
random bits and tools
