Prerunner to 4x4 Conversion

Only why to find out is shifting it and I also tacked it in the cab and finished it outside the truck

 

Im not a very experienced welder but I’m using a 1/2 steel rod. A 2 inch piece on bottom, 3 1/2 inch piece going back, and a 8 1/2 inch piece going up. That’s it, was pretty worried about this part but it’s easy

Can you shift It while the engine is off?

 

Yeah

 

He should if his transmission in on neutral right? Did you try to engage al ranges?

 

Transmission is in park (as far as I know, havent tested it yet)

 

Just press the button and shift it to neutral

 

Peer pressure at its finest.

 

Fellas help me confirm this info. So I ordered the transfer case on eBay. I went by the description and I was like “oh I’m going to check the vin(JTEBU5JR5G5344908) listed” which I did and I find that the description was misleading. This is not the right transfer case am I correct? I asked the dude and he confirmed it was the one I was looking for. Luckily they haven’t send the item and therefore if it’s the incorrect one I’ll be requesting the money back and order a different one. I really appreciate the help. Thanks

 

VIN pulls up a 4Runner, which according to this post, some 4runners use the same fj t case

JTEBU5JR5G5344908 is a 2016 4Runner Trail Package and has a manual transfer case, which would be the correct one to use for this setup.

Ok here’s the deal I typed the vin on the parts.VenturaToyota.com website and it shows as a trail premium and when I go to the parts breakdown shows a transfer case motor. Pn 3641034015. I will be running a non add front diff and my transmission is an A750F.

 

The parts website is incorrect. This transfer case does not have a motor, it is full manual selection. 36410-34015 does not apply to Trail Package vehicles.

(The way Toyota does the packages on the 4Runner makes it harder for catalog filtering to catch things like this).

Alright then I am going to chill a little bit, what got me a little stressed out is that after finding that on the website I started digging and found this thread ( ) and got me saying Fuck multiple times. would you mind taking a look, Jeff would you mind taking a look?

 

2010-2012 SR5 and 2010+ Trail, TRD Off-Road, and TRD Pro use a full manual case.
2013-2021 SR5 and 2010+ Limited/Nightshade use an electric actuator.

So the same as the one of the FJ Cruiser, I just looked at a video and shows the same pattern on the lever. Btw, whats the code for this transfer case(ie. For the 4x4 transmission = A750F) again Jeff, thank you.
