What are your reasons for preferring the V6 over the V8?:confused:

This is the crossmember that I used. I will try to get a picture or two to post up. All I had to do was measure and drill 6 holes - it worked out great.:thumb:

Some wheeling:

I would not waste time on the 3.91's - get at least the 4.10's or 4.30's. And get a speedometer calibrator to compensate for the different gears/tires. Just a fyi, the typical codes for the 96-02 4Runners are as follows: A01A 3.73 A02A 3.91 A03A 4.10 A04A 4.30 A05A 4.56 This is not a guarantee...

Being that his is 2wd with the smallest tires from the factory, I bet he has 3.73 gears. That was the lowest gear ratio available in the 2wd 4Runners. My 2000 was the same way. 3.73 gears and 265/75R16 AT's wasn't exactly the best combination for speed and towing. I would suggest at minimum an...

Not sure if the '99-'00 Limited is compatible. Those years have multimode but they are still j-shift for the actuation of the center diff lock. All models(SR5, Limited) in the '01-'02 years have the electric motor that does the shift in to 4wd and the center diff lock actuation. Plus, they only...

As far as I know, you can take the deeper pan of the A340F(4wd trans) and install it on the A340E(2wd trans). You also have to make sure that you use the 4wd filter as well since it has a deeper pickup for the deeper pan. You also have to use the complete dipstick assembly from the 4wd pan as...

That list really only applies to the 95-04 Tacoma models. The typical codes for the 96-02 4Runners are as follows: A01A 3.73 A02A 3.91 A03A 4.10 A04A 4.30 A05A 4.56 But every now and then, some still don't match these codes.

I had them stock on my 98 SR5 Tacoma - not a huge help. But I can tell you that you have the smallest factory brakes since those are 15" wheels. The 15's won't fit on the Limited/Sport brakes. And they definitely won't fit over the Tundra brakes if you do the upgrade.

It took a little while to find the one break that I had. I just took my time and studied each solder point and found a break right beside a solder joint. I don't know why it broke because there shouldn't be any movement in that "flexible" circuit. But they made it flexible for a reason I...

Once my truck warmed up, it drove fine. Also, for what it's worth, I didn't have any of the other symptoms either other than the the reverse light would be dimly lit even though it was in park. And even then, that didn't happen all the time. No CEL either.

I believe it is not your ECU. I had the same problem and some others have too. The problem is with the printed(flexible) circuit that is on the back of your instrument cluster. Those can fail after some time and you can choose either to replace it($$$) or try to fix it. I was able to trace and...

Finished installing my newly rebuilt original starter tonight. Needed to replace the contacts again and the plunger for the first time after 200k miles. I have done the contacts before but this post from mtbtim was very handy for the part numbers again. I will also add that you can buy the...

First real wheeling trip since the 4wd swap. Everything worked as it should!:bounce:

If the first two fall through, I will take them.
