Hey very cool! You definitely should get back on Facebook and join the group. We try to do somewhat regular dinners, and I'm working on making the wheeling trips more frequent. Of course...I have to finish mine first. Update: I got the adapter plate and coupler in, and was able to do some...

FWIW, I'm doing a thing that will offer a multitude of functionality. Arduino controlled switches. Basically, you can use a mirror switch and get an effective 8 different outputs, and that's before you take into account short and long presses of the button.

Columbus! Well, right outside to be exact. Where are you? Are you in the Ohio 4Runner facebook page? Considering the fan...yeah, I've definitely considered a lot about this. The Arduino will reset every time the key gets cycled, so I actually can't leave the fan on when the ignition is off...

Alright...let's give this a go again. Maybe I can actually keep up. The past few months have been progress! I decided that I definitely want the 1UZ VVTi, 5AT, and the multimode transfer. In December, a buddy and I pulled the 5VZ out of the 4Runner. It wasn't too hard, but definitely took...

Doesn't really matter how many teeth are on the gear to figure out the ratio. Just count the ring gear teeth and the pinion teeth. Ratio = (# of Ring gear teeth)/(# of Pinion teeth)

Man I'm really bad at this. I'll try to be better. But, some updates: a few weeks ago a buddy and I successfully got the engine, trans and t case out. T case came off first, and the trans was pulled with the engine. https://imgur.com/PSdj4Oo VF3AM multimode transfer case from a 2000...

Actually I know people put the FJ box into the V8 4th gen with the A750f, so I assume that's a 26 spline case. The 4.0 4th gen and FJ also use the same trans, so I'd assume the same 26 spline. To be honest, I really want 2wd. I enjoy working my way through trails in 2WD. I know it'll...

Me too, I have a ton of documentation I will share as I go through it too. One struggle point so far was finding an adapter from the A650E (Lexus LS400, 97-00, 5at, VVT) to the transfer case - but seems like there is a guy in South Africa makes adapters that I can buy. Just as reference, cause...

That's honestly the best idea, and I've looked into doing that. But, I hate the weight that comes with the 2UZ - 600 lbs (about) vs 390 from the 1UZ for similar power. I know the 4runner is no handling machine, but, I also like balance. The electrically shifted transfer...well, it's not bad...

Welp, turns out I'm really bad at doing build threads. I've made my decision - it's going to be a 1UZ VVTi with a 5 speed automatic from the 99-00 Lexus LS400. I'll somehow affix that to the multimode transfer case to it. I found a guy in South Africa that can make an adapter from an...

Still haven't gotten my shipping notice :Cry:

Hello! Can someone post pics of the transfer cases, and their mating surfaces with the transmission? I'm looking to make an adapter and need to compare the A340f/3rd gen transfer cases with another set. That said, does anyone know the model numbers for the transfer cases, as well?

Hey Guys, I need your expertise. I am looking to do a V8 swap into my 3rd gen, and want to use a VVT 1UZ. It'll come with the A650e transmission. I know that the 4th gen 4Rs had the 4.7 V8 (2UZ) and came with the A750. I also know that the FJ cruiser automatic transfer case is a common swap...

Dang it, I was only planning on buying like...one or two skids. And now I'm gonna have to buy them all. Thanks Mike!
