Didn't really even plan on making the switch, but he just offered me it one day with a price I couldn't refuse so I put the 4runner up for sale.



Finally getting the itch to start making it my own. Gonna swap out the wheels for something wider with the 13.5" tires on there and swap out the bumpers for something less bulky than RanchHands

Hell I recently just sold my Subaru, only car I've ever bought brand new, for a high miles Ford pickup. No regrets. The Ford requires a bit more attention than the Toyota, but I knew what I was getting in to. As long as you're happy. If you tried to embed a picture, it didn't come through.

After wheeling the KM3's in the soupy mud this past weekend, I'm convinced these are hands down the best tires I've ever owned. Absolutely amazing and except for price, I've seen zero downside to them. I've got some Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the other truck which are nice, but those KM's man...

Wiring was super simple the gauge cluster pulls power from the fuse box under the steering wheel. The center diff lock light, 4lo and 4wd have signal wires that come from the gauge to the 4wd ECU. A Haynes manual spells this out extremely clear in one of the rear schematics.

I will be removing wire from the necessary materials list as I didnt have to use any of my own. I chose to make a 4" jumper lead off the sensors but it wasnt required.

The wires that plug into the originial tcase actuator assy, lead back into the 4wd computer as well. So once you unplug the computer you now have wires that run back to the transfer case from inside the cab. I just chose two colors I knew weren't already grounded somewhere (multi meter magic) and cut them from the connector. I used yellow and the blue w/ red strip. the 4wd ECU is screwed to the bottom kick plate under the glove box. just remove the glove box and the one screw holding the kick plate them your there.

On the Other connector. Brown w/ white stripe is 4lo signal to gauge and green with red stripe is the center diff lock actuator, in this case my 4wd indicator.

4lo sensor is front driver side, 4wd sensor is passenger side. then just run the other lead not used from the sensor to a ground.

the connector:

After getting that all buttoned back up I moved on to sealing the hole. Ordered a piece of 1/8th rubber online and cut to fit. I used hollow punches to create the holes for the bolts.

eyeballed where to put rivet holes and started drilling

then just put the rivets in

Onto the next task
