I had an 02 sport 2wd, damn thing wouldn't climb a curb with the open rear diff, had to put a tru trac in it to make it worth a damn.

After doing that and seeing how useless a 2wd is in ice and snow mud whatever because it's so light, I vowed to never have another 2wd runner.

Sell it. get a 4wd and never look back.
I don’t really think the op cares if you would prefer a 4wd 4Runner, and what are you climbing curbs for? Quick getaway after stealing a pack of white owls from the gas station?

I had to look up white owls, too funny. Merry Christmas.

Gotcha thanks. Yeah sometimes I get ahead of myself, I'm on oxycodone right now from knee replacement. Merry Christmas Guys. Hope he gets his issue solved and back on the road.

i live in california.. so ice is not a big deal. the runner handles fine when i go boarding in big bear with light ice.. im not trying to track through 4+ inches of snow..

i have a detroit tru trac in mine with 5.29 gears and it picks up just fine and can do what some 4wd drivers cant.. its all in the driver's experience.

ive had my fair share of 4wd. Rock crawling and mudding is not for me.

smashing up frame, breaking axles and getting stuck in the middle of nowhere or in mud waiting for someone to tow you out is no fun.

this was my old rig

Looks like the Tacoma 2WD R150 uses a slip yoke output just like the 4Runner auto, so you should be good there. It'll just be a length question, which you can figure out by measuring the length of each transmission and adding/subtracting from your current driveshaft to compensate. Hopefully the shifter hole lines up - it should though, since the Tacoma (1st gen) and 4Runner share that alignment.

You'll be able to start/drive your 4Runner with the MT if you jumper the neutral safety switch, though there will be a check-engine light.
