Trying to piece this together on my 2001 5spd swapped 4runner too. If you still see this... can you please clarify the following? 1. Clutch Start SW disallows the vehicle from starting unless the clutch is depressed - correct? 2. Clutch Start Cancel: I will splice yellow/green into the same...

Any luck with your cruise control, clutch cancel, and reverse lights? I have seen you asking all the 5sp swap threads lol. I've been mobbing without all of these things for a while, but road trips absolutely suck without cruise.

Unfortunately, no. It's on the spring tune-up list among other things. I'll have to look up the thread where that is explained again. It has been sitting all winter in my condo parking lot. I drove her hard last summer at Silver Lake Sand Dunes. It performs incredibly well over the bumps, but...

You are, but its good info for other people viewing the thread. Cutting those holes definitely could have gone more smooth. Thanks for the picture.

I've been making decent progress over the past few weeks. Aside for the passenger Lower Control Arm, I have removed everything from the transfer case back (I will get a picture soon). The LCA is stuck because the cam alignment tabs are stuck/dry rotted into the bushings. I'll need to hit it...

Thanks for the response. I don't necessarily understand what is happening in the mysterious black box - I just needed some assurance from others more knowledgeable on the subject to point me in the right direction.

LOL. Thanks, I needed that. Adding fix parking break to my to-do list.

While under here, I am tempted to delete the e-brake which doesn't work anyways, and the Charcoal Canister since there are no vehicle inspections in Michigan. Something about eliminating unnecessary clutter is very appealing. Would be interested to hear opinions on this.

Random Pictures of underneath with the gas tank removed. So much more room to clean and repair rusted areas. I will be moving the jackstands in front of the link mounts after I repair them. I will be using KBS 3-Step + top coated with Fluid Film to protect everything. <a...

As you wish lol. I'll be taking plenty more this weekend/next week. So... you know how I said it was "very clean", well as you can see it has its blemishes. Now, I can already hear you non-salt state people question why I would even invest time/money into this truck. Honestly, I've learned that...

100% it was so easy... I'll just have to do a little extra work when I want Cruise Control. Wow, I'm glad I didn't go with the LCE Clutch! I was actually eyeing it, but it sounded a little to aggressive for daily driving.

Hey yall, it's been a while. I finished the swap over the winter in our garage with our wood burning stove to keep me warm, but let it sit until now. I gotta say... this thing is spiraling towards being an absolute beast - I'm so excited. First things first, as far the transmission goes this...

Hello, I am currently in the final stages of 5-speed swapping my 2001 limited. It starts just fine, but I am working on diagnosing as to why my 4wd light is flashing and my VSC OFF and VSC TRAC lights are on, among the expected CEL. I have read the following thread multiple times, but am still...

Appreciate everyone's input, however, I am going to say that making the jumper wire between terminals 9 and 6 on the main A/T plug is definitely the easiest option for my year/2002. Use 5/32" or 1/8" spade terminal connectors - not sure which, but definitely not 1/4". I grabbed this photo from...

That does not seem to be the pattern of the plug I am looking at... could easily be I am looking at the wrong one. I was following this thread where he shows the plug I am looking at + the jumper he made (near the 3/4 of the page): 2002 Toyota 4Runner 5sp swap
