Prerunner to 4x4 Conversion

The clearance is not that bad. The driveshaft only hangs down at the point of where the center bearing about 1.5 inches. Here's a few pics.

And a pic of that inchworm adapter and transfer case.

 

Just double checking before I make a mess. When modifying the A750E(prerunner) cross member mounting holes to fit the A750F(4x4) should be and inch forward(towards the engine) and no change in height. Am I correct? Thank you.

 

There’s a lot of variances between years and models, seems like everyone ends up having different measurements. I ended up doing it about an inch forward and had to come down about 2 inches. I didn’t really meausure precisely, just start cutting about 2 inches down and turned out pretty good. My new mount is almost flush with the bottom, maybe an 1/8 inch higher than bottom. 2013 DCSB v6.

Dont buy a RST crossmember, even if used and not directly from the scam artist. His boxed conversion crossmember hangs too low, won’t let a mid skid bolt up unless you heighten the mounting or chop your crossmember.

 

I’m not buying anything from them dudes. I’m not a fan of giving money to people who don’t deserve it or has put stress on someone who paid no questions asked and got jack shit in return, I know that feeling and totally sucks. Btw their website is not existent no more.

 

Gotcha, mine is an 05 DCSB. Is there any good indicator to know if the weight of the transmission is not putting the engine on an angle? My plan was to mark the arms of the transmission jack before removing the A750E(prerunner) and match the marks when the A750F(4x4) and with that I’ll be matching the angle and start cutting and going to town on the cross member

 

That was something I had no idea about. I tested it out with a jack, there’s still plenty of room to droop down but also it’s not stuffed up touching the floor. Kinda hard to describe but it just feels right. Here’s how far away mine is from the floor

 

Yea I went through the normal ordeal last year of ordering, waiting, email, waiting, 5 calls, waiting, 3 calls, waiting and finally something showed up. It worked, I had gotten an add harness, crossmember and a shifter made to come up the coin tray from them. It works. But let’s just say I’m looking for a new knob and shifter boot so i don’t have to see the RST, or the I’m “Really Scamming Thou” logo..

 

thats what mine is like, you should be good to go. The Curve of the trans tunnels is the same through all models iirc

 

F*ck that. I saw a couple 3D printed one’s in a 4runner forum. I went with oem boot and knob from an FJ(eBay special 40 bucks shipped)

 

Hell yeah I’m gonna take that as well as a visual indicator. I’m going to document everything on video for the dudes down the road.

 

no idea where mine was sourced from. It looos like the Marlin crawler with a different logo. I could be wrong. I want to lower in a bit though but I think they just welded a nut on the shaft and ground it down. There’s some flattened/oblong sections just under the shifter. Hoping I can cut and thread the section, I don’t have access to a welder.

 

I’m in Ventura I can hook you up. Edit: just realized you’re in norcal.

 

@ilubtimmyhos did do anything different with your insurance? If I got in a wreck, idk how my insurance would repair my truck with some of the parts being custom/not suppose to be there

 

My insurance has a limit on aftermarket but it's already part of my policy so I didn't change anything. Maybe I will look into it.

 

Sup fellas, just double checking this is the right part number( 9025011003) for this small pin I am missing before I submit the order. Thanks

*the one on the other side is in place.

 

The PN is indeed 90250-10113, I had to replace both of mine due to them being seized, note that they are the same PN whether auto or manual transmission.

 

thanks for confirming the PN. I was about to attach the trx case to the transmission and I was like wow. Missing the pin here. Videos of the conversion will be rolling once the conversion is completed

 

Make sure you put some anti-seize on the new ones, and leave them in the freezer overnight for easier install.

 

Sounds like a plan. Again dude, thanks
