VERY IMPRESSIVE WORK JAMES!!

You are an inspiration to us all. You have got me dreaming about a 5-speed swap as well... Mmmm that would be nice.

I'm amazed how quickly you got all of the work done, I could read this thread like a book over and over.
 
Hell yea. Cool to see you got it done. And so damn fast! The 5 speed must be nice.

And the best thing about the 4WD conversion is you save $ on insurance! They still think you're 2WD! lol
 
dude you need to learn how to crawl :), you have 5 speed and 4.56 so your crawl ratio is a lot better than most of us, it shouldn't be that hard to go slow and easy i imagine.
 
i just realized where you got your cherry bomb exhaust inspiration from....

If you do it, you won't ever regret it.

Thank you Jim, and even though it looked like it was done quickly, it felt like a lifetime. Hell, I had dreams about driving it and went through withdrawals when I couldn't.

man i love that thing...and your firestik is gunna knock someone's eye out whippin around like that!

lol, I'm considering possibly doing something about that... someday :P

Oh, and thank you!

Not shy with the skinny pedal I see! Time for some front end armor my friend. Nice work man. Enjoy!

Can't wait for a shrockworks... ahh... but I be broke!

Thank you, buddy. Hope that bumper cover worked out well for ya.

That 3RZ just sounds so effing beastly
I am glad to hear that you think so.

It is pretty damn annoying when every other car I'm driving next to floors it because they think I'm flooring it... but it's even more annoying when I can barely hear my supercharger whine. 8 PSI would fix that... I hope.

Hell yeah, insurance savings! Haha thanks Zach!

I have never owned a manual transmission. I learned using trades at work. I had a total combined experience of maybe 24 total hours spread across 4 years.

If there's anything to learn... you really don't know how bad at driving a stick you are until you own one! It's barely been a few weeks and I've improved ten fold.

SLow it down You will learn. :) Just slip that clutch
Gimme some slack, it was my first week driving a stick :P haha

My 4Runner sounds just like that when it plays with it's balls, too. :P

Dang man, that thing just looks and sounds Solid! Its almost like it just came of showroom floor. Mad props to you!
You're too kind man, thank you.

Congrats James, it is an amazing feat. I am also impressed with the speed that you completed the project. Great work man!
Thank you!

By the way, that sunroof motor is still sitting in my garage if you wanna come by.







Sorry about the lack of updates. I've been either busy with work or parting out this donor truck. I've done a bunch of things to my 4Runner since.

I ate my Chipotle burrito on my lunch break today with about 10 minutes to spare, so I popped in new shifter seat/socket bushings before going back to work.

Marlin Crawler Shifter Bushings.

The old shifter seat. It was originally one piece, but came apart.

Shifter socket bushing, new and old.

Installation is easy. You lay the seat bushing on the two pins (there are grooves in the seat) and pivot it around the pins until it falls into place.

The shifter is very solid and shifts are very smooth. Extremely worth it if you drive a 5-speed, especially since this costs less than $20.
 
Man as many on this thread have said, your truck inspires me to the max. I want nothing more from my t4r than for it to be a 4x4 5speed manual. I hope to some day put that set up on mine. It just seems like a whole lot of work that I don't know how to do.
