Well if anyone is waiting with baited breath, I think I have finally figured this problem out. I put a switch in the dash, that grounds the relay at the same connection, that the transfer case switch does, when 4wd is engaged. Drove for an hour or so to where I needed 4wd. The relay did not...

Thanks for the responses. The 4wd light on the dash does operate and when it is on, we are definitely in 4wd and when it is off, we are definitely in 2wd. If I read the wiring diagram correctly for this transfer case, the relay is powered and operates to switch, when the it gets a ground...

Well I got one of those pricey, NLA relays and installed it the other day. I drove about 40 min. and my 4runner still went in and out of 4wd just like it should. Today we took a drive in the mountains for a walk and it would go in and out of 4wd all the way to where I turned off to the deeper...

I bought a 1 1/16" socket, which is almost exactly 27mm, I opened up one side for the wires to stick through and had to trim probably an inch off the length to fit it in the confined space. Oh, I also found my wobble adapter about 10 ft away from where it fell, among some parts I picked up...

Well, I made the special tool out of a deep well socket to change the 4wd detection switch on my transfer case. What a booger; still can't find my wobble attachment. Everything 4wd worked great until I had driven about 20 miles and then once again no 4wd. The relay in the passenger footwell...

I did buy this used and you folks are correct. This is definitely an SR5 with 5spd manual and a VF2A transfer case. I suspect the transfer position switch is failing as movement of the transfer lever, when it is on the cusp of not operating, will cause the relay to click. I have ordered an...

Well I definitely have a unicorn then. It does have Limited in big chrome letters on the rear and it does have the J shift transfer case. That aside, how do i find the FSM specs on this site. Thanks for your help.

Nope, I have the standard J shift for the transfer case. Thus, when it is working properly, I have 2Hi, 4Hi and 4Lo. As a side note I took it out this afternoon. It works great when cold. I drove for about 45 min. to see when it would start to fail to engage 4wd. When it did begin to fail...

My 2000 Limited has 5spd manual and V6. 4wd works fine when cold, but if it has been driven several miles (to a trailhead, snowy road, etc.) it will not engage the 4wd. If it sits for a half hour or more, the 4wd works fine and it will shift back to 2wd. But if I have run it any distance, it...

Brand new Daystar lift kit KT09107BK. 1.5" lift to rear suspension for 96 - 02 4runners. $40 shipped USA only.

Sold Thank you, chimpy

I put these on my 2000 and they caused a 2" lift in the front, which I did not intend. After a month, about 500 mi., I figured they would not settle as I had hoped. They work great and are almost unused, but they may cause your 4runner some lift. Normally about $100 each. My loss, your gain...

So my stealership told me that part 86300-35090 was the complete assembly with whip antenna and ordered one in for me to the tune of $65. Turns out on receiving it, it does not include the whip. That's another $42 . . . and we have to order it in. Junkyard or aftermarket next stop.
