A750F-i gear ratio After my last trip up 88 I figured out what I want out of my next gear set. Check out this chart to help make your decision. What I determined was that V gear aka 5th is 29% lower than 4th. That gear has been useless to me for anything other than long downhill grades since...

Updates to your tire size/gear ratio combos? Did y’all die of the VID or you gonna give us the 2yr update on your tire size match to your gear opinions?:bump2: For the last 18 months I’ve been running my BFG 35s on the stock 3:72 and HATING every mile towed while climbing 1,500’-8,000’ in the...

I should have been more clear. Hope this helps. $150 for the front calipers. Oem Toyota $30 for the rebuild kit. Oem Toyota . $50 pads. Oem Toyota $8 for the bleeders No cores necessary. This allowed me to do all of the work first and minimal downtime for the rig.

All (aftermarket) reman are sub-par I agree with most of this concept too. Plenty of online (Toyota) dealers will sell at far more discounted rate than my local dealer. The aftermarket (new and rebuilt) use an oem casting to start and use whatever cheap guts they can source. They customize...

Ah yes! That’s the one. I read that article over a year ago and was a bit rusty on the details. They basically addressed the issue by cutting and welding the oil pan to make room for the ADD. They chose the Taco carrier and the FJ t-case (from the auto 4wd) with the manual selector. They did...

Elongated shakedown successful! 1.5 yrs later and the finished product has gone through the shakedown test successfully. By shakedown I mean 2K mi from The Bay to The Cascades and back. As well as a few Sierra weekends to boot. I’m very sorry for ditching you guys. You’ve all been so helpful...

Can you expand on this a bit? Re “ wiring connector at the xfr case actuator“ I have yet to do some actual homework and I am just pulling bits of knowledge from the gurus here for insight, are you saying the v6 & v8 actuator have different terminals? I could actually take your advise and run...

Is it really that simple though? I like the concept, I believe I’ve seen another thread about it but it was a v6 twin stick manual swap from the FJ with a body lift. To be clear, are you saying the FJ carrier doesn’t use ADD? If I recall correctly the FJ 6spd also has the manual t-case so that...

If we’re going to swap transfer cases why not from a Sequoia? Already has 2wd & 4wd matched to the 4.7 with torsen lock. With that said, does the sequoia have a similar actuator? As for the fuel mileage comments, really? Do you even wheel brah? Lol it’s about 2wd fun, 2wd low, getting a little...

I too have been day dreaming of this option. While changing my oil I was starring up at the oil pan and noticed how tight the space is between the extension tube and the oil pan. It’s just not physically possible to put the ADD in there. I think Toyota just chose to go with the full time 4wd...

Looking forward to the "to do list" becoming the "too done list". Lets see some pics!

Awesome! Thanks for the tips. More fab work to come for this. My PB project is on hold while I finish brainstorming additional features and finish my other project "Camping trailer" (stay tuned for that build thread). Both of these projects are 4Runner projects since the Runner is my tow...

Good to hear that this is normal and worth working around it. As for the 03-05 grill, when I read up on the headlight swap for those who want the projectors, I learned that if they don't swap the grill they will have a small triangle gap at the lower corners of the grill. It seems that that...
