I just wonder if the modules your pictures show (above) have a plug (wiring) in vehicles not endowed with remote lock/unlock?
If so, all I would need to do is to find a module...

Your rig is a 2001 or 2002 correct?
I believe they changed them in the later years. My photos are on a 1998 and I think they may have even dropped the stickers in the later years as well. :-( I think it went to the driver side kick panel instead of under the seats as we had a major change in the wiring in 1999 with the creation of the multiplex communication system.
I discovered this after I posted these photos as I have the pre 1999 and a 2001 in my fleet.
However, your thinking is correct. If your truck has the wiring plugs then the modules would be needed.
However, sometimes other things may be missing like fuses etc relays you name it.
So its not always as easy as it was for the Toyotas in the 1980s when all the trucks had the same wiring harnesses and you could just plug things in and they would work.
:-(
Research will have to be done and lots of things verified before I would say it would work.
I was bummed when I found out they changed the harnesses and left things out to save money. That all changed in Toyotas in the 1990s.
I had a 1998 tocuma sr5 5 speed manual at the time and wanted to add cruise control and my local parts dealer said it cant be done because most of the wiring harnesses didn't have the wires in them anymore. Unless your vehicle came with it.
So sadly, you may not have the plugs and wiring there or have only sections there. The 3rd gen 4 runners had a few different wiring harnesses and they are not the same from 1996 thru 2002. 1996 thru 1998 similar. 1999 thru 2002 similar but not exact.
