The mods don't need a cadet

The pic of the GX is just to show that I really did replace the 4Runner with one.

Hey guys, I have been listing my 4Runner on Craigslist for a little over a month, When I first made an add I left the mileage off the ad and the phone rang off the hook. Of course their first question was- "how many miles" So I added the mileage and phone has not rang once... In honest...

I believe what you are referring to would be the electric actuator for the front driveline on the years 2001 and 2002 models I don't have anything in that area I think we got it figured out Charlie stopped by and we both think my TCase actuator motor is either weak or something is causing it...

Hahahaha, yeah it's probably haunted from all the death on the rig

Hmmmm, computer thingy.?. Before I throw this UPS label on these cases, could you possibly be a little more uhhh clear? There really is not a computer for the trans that I can see plus, it drives and shifts absolutely perfect. Now if you mean the 4WD computer in the kick panel? Yes

With the hours of research I did, I suggest getting some contact cleaner, a 27mm socket, pull the switch on the front transfer case and clean the contact area. That seems like the most common fix. Oh, but not for me

A fire suppression system??? WTF?

What...the...hell...??? How much Budweiser and Peyote was consumed during the "build" process?

Hello out there... Does anyone happen to know if I can side my actuator on my transfer case without having to remove and disassemble the cases? I have access to a working actuator and if it slides right out I would be able to test a known working one. Also, the free beer offer still stands...

Man, thank you so much for the interest and help. So the rig will flash the green wheels AND the center diff light, the only time it does something different is when I manually move the transfer case with 12 volts for a split second it will only have the green wheel lights on. Also, last night...

I believe its working because after I manually move the actuator into 2wd for a split second only the 4 green wheels are lit up when I turn the key on. Then the actuator moves back and starts flashing. If an internal switch is bad, it would be the single one on the right side. I get no...

That would be great if you could come by, a fresh pair of eyes might help Yes, all 4 wheels are off the ground and spin at different rates. I can manually get it into 2wd by throwing 12volts on the actuator motor but when i turn the key on, it goes right back into 4wd Thanks for the reply and...

Hopefully the beer got your attention! Hey guys, any members want to come help me out? I have a 2000 Limited with the J shifter and I have the dreaded 4x4 flashing on the dash and its stuck in 4 high. I went for the easiest most common fix and replaced the sensor/switch on the front transfer...

I am working on a 2000 Limited 4x4 that had the driveline removed and fuse pulled to hide that it was stuck in 4wheel drive. Drive line removed to help MPG's and fuse pulled to hide the flashing drive indicator on the gauges. I have a new switch on order but its coming from the East Coast and...
