Welp turns out I'm terrible at reading wiring diagrams, and getting to projects on time like repairing actual switches haha. What are the odds you could snap a photo of your bypass/tell me which wires to short on this photo? I know the goal is simply to close the circuit that swaps the VSV but...

Thanks! Really appreciate it, about to hit the road and going all over the west coast so this will be nice to have wired in before then.

Say I hypothetically got the tripod orientation mixed up on both sides when I took it off the junkyard vehicle as I posted this after I had already pulled the part... Took the inner boot off after the outer shaft to give myself working room and didn't realize how important the orientation was...

Visiting a friend who has a press this weekend and realized I can't get the rear axle tool shipped in time. If anyone in Dallas or Houston has the tool that I can buy or borrow w/ deposit, I'd love to pick it up.

I found a donor vehicle and have talked to someone who 5 speed swapped their limited. That way they didn't mess with the wiring but confirmed driveshaft fitment (front from limited, rear from limited +1.25in spacer). I'm a little hesitant with the wiring but will probably attempt the swap in the...

My CV axle boot just burst and did some digging and found the previous owner put on aftermarket axles. Following this forums advice, I'm got some junkyard OEM axles and are rebooting them with the OEM kit. Just to check, is there anything I should be checking for and is there more that goes into...

Thanks y'all, I'll go ahead and pick those up along with the clutch hose. Appreciate y'all

2000 SR5 5Spd My slave cylinder is leaking though I know the previous owner replaced the clutch which is still in good shape. Just wanted to hear thoughts on buying Aisin master & slave since they're over half price as Toyota and it seems they might be the OEM manufacturer anyways? Their clutch...

Not to revive an old threat but I had a quick question. I actually have a 5speed that I'm looking to swap a multimode J-shift from a 99 limited into. What driveshafts did you end up using? I know the MT has shorter front and longer rear driveshafts than the automatic, but also the multimode...

yup no 4-hi or low, the front diff actuator works since swapping the vacuum hoses but leaving the tcase shifter in 2wd locks the front driveshaft. I'll test the switches further but neither 4hi or low puts on the dash light and I think one of the receiving harnesses is bad since shorting only...

I appreciate the response; I ended up keeping the hoses switched for a short term solution which ended up being enough for the couple days I was in CO. I'm finally getting around to trying to fix things up before the summer road trip and I think I'm going to try and wire a bypass switch since I...

Any chance you have plans for this laying around? Do you have plans for this? I'd love to build one of these for myself but don't want to get rid of the OEM bumper so this is exactly what I've been looking for

TheDurk not to bother you with another 4WD post but I'm pretty sure I've read all that I could find. 2000 SR5 with 5-spd manual. 4WD worked a month ago but I haven't been able to figure it out as I've been working on larger ticket items. 4WD lights don't come on at all VSVs and ADD check out...

Ahaahah nope, actually working on fixing that right now. Got it figured out, it was actually tire rubbing, didn't think 265/70r17 would rub but it does on the front fender on the sidewall, but only at 3/4 turn, not full lock and only on the left side. Kind of stupid solution but glad it's...

Good to know, I'll make sure to have some toyota ones I can use in case these ones are scratched.
