Would it be possible to use a 5th gen line as well?

No pictures yet but 3-12-2025 we started the 5th Gen rear axle swap. Also did 5th gen front brakes. Axle swap is still ongoing in that I have not quite hooked up the rear locker. Or swapped in a 5th gen sway bar. But the axle is under there and I am driving on it. The sway bar may or may not...

Went back into Krawltex for some drive line adjustments to get the pinion right. Snapped some shots while under there for the heck of it since it was on a lift.

10-31-25 Made an 8 Hour trip to Romance, AR for an RC Crawling event. 4Runner was packed and did great! Everything you see in the tent setup fit in there with the hitch basket. We Tetris'd the heck out of it!

couple more pics... Now, before you judge me on the Vevor winch.... I'm not extreme wheeling this thing. We go to events in it. So worst it will see is a fire road or muddy field. So light duty is fine. Plus when I got it, it was only $150 on Amazon at the time. It also has Bluetooth remote...

Up next was the winch bumper & sliders. I had Krawltex install this. Wrapped up on 10-27-25

I went with trimming this to make the future easier on myself in case it ever fails again. Sealed hole with HVAC tape.

Up next I changed the blend door actuator on 9-27-25. Wasn't getting heat over on passenger side. I did the hole through the cabin air filter spot. Took a bunch of video to make a tutorial but no time for all that. Maybe one day? lol

I had already sold my running boards so we went with nothing for a bit. Didn't hate it but dang our gas tanks hang down soooo low.

Still on the fence with the wheel coloring but I did end up doing sliders. I tried some 5th gen ones but they do not line up correctly. They offset differently on each side and that would make me crazy. They also are made of tinfoil.

... then I started to get ideas like what would it look like without the running boards? Or with sliders? Or with sliders and some of the wheels blacked out?

New Wheels & tires on 9-11-25 Kenda Klevar on some Toyota wheels that came with Lexus centercaps. lol New tires ride so much better.

It has been too long since I updated this. Jeez.... August of last year? I'm slacking big time. Lots to cover. I'll add details later but the highlights are: Changed wheels & tires. Removed running boards and installed sliders. Front hidden winch mount. 5th Gen rear axle with locker. But can't...

One thing I had thought about doing was to remove the stock braking system completely and putting in something else. That way I could disable/remove the VSC and Trac control systems & lights and not have the (IMO) odd system we have.... and be SAS ready. Food for thought ...If I wanted to do...

Why were you having to reset the zero point so many times? The ABS switch mod causing the issue?
