    Swapping out your electronic 4WD shifter? Is there anything you need other than the transfer case and shifter?

    Swapping out my a340E!

    I have plenty of tabs open on this but this thread might help. Things to keep in mind are if your push button 4wd is ADD electronic or vacuum actuated. That will dictate how much work will need to go into that type of conversion.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2-4-select-to-j-shift-conversion-help.808308/

    Also if you have any t case related questions I’d get with @turbodb he has an excellent write up on his adventuretaco site.

    We're currently looking for gently used Casita. What model did you get, and how do you like it so far?

    Moog springs. Picked them up from another guy on here who bought them and then changed his mind so they were gently used. Think they came from Suspensionlifts.com

    Overall pretty pleased and truck runs well despite exhaust valves unfortunately being too out of spec on a few cylinders (thanks previous owner!)
    mini-header + adjusting what valves I could did give me some noticeable torque gains lower in the rpm band. She loves Rotella 5w-40 too!

    High temp paint + primer for valve cover
    3RZ-FE badge
    Valve cover gasket
    Cylinder seal gaskets
    Fresh PCV + grommet
    Adjusted valves / new shims
    New wires, plugs, packs
    OEM 01+ mini header + heat shield (high temp primer + ceramic coated)
    New 02’s
    New EGR + pipe gaskets
