This is what I'm trying to figure out, because I want to do this swap in the future but I don't want to get rid of all the awesome features and ESPECIALLY not the awesome transfer case that is in the 99 - 02 4runner limited, which has has center locker. The SR5 manual transfer case that the OP is swapping in does not.
LMK thannks!

The SR5 case (j-shift) is ALWAYS locked (no differential at all). Sounds like what you want is to keep the AWD (4Hi unlocked), which is reasonable. It will require custom front and rear prop shafts (no factory matching lengths to use).
The 4WD computer that runs the transfer case is separate from the Engine/Transmission ECU.
If you change to an SR5 ECU, all you lose is the immobilizer. The alarm/keyless/4WD system/dash indicators/etc. all can remain if you wire things up correctly.
