I thought it would be fun to collect a list of how many mods there are to the 3rd gen that come from other vehicles. Post up a thread to a write up if you have it.

- TUNDRA - Front brake upgrade, including rotors and calipers.

- TUNDRA - I have heard there is a V-8 that fits? I don't know?

- LAND CRUSIER - Front coils on land crusiers work as rear coils for 3rd gens

- FORD TAURUS - Electric fan. I don't know much about this one

- HONDA PASSPORT - arm rest mod: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/54787-armrest-mod.html

- LEXUS - there is some engine that fits, but I don't know it, please post the info

- I have heard something about using a "ford" master cylinder for the brake system, but don't know anything about it.

Thats all I can think of. If you think of others, know more info about what I have listed, or have links to good write ups, please post up.

This could end up being an interesting list...

Some people who have SAS'd used Wagoneer axles.
And some taco parts... manual hubs, front fenders/grill/headlights, wheels.
1st gen roll cage (does that count as a different vehicle)?
 
here is another one that might count from a Hilux and with adapters

Marlin Crawler "Taco Box" $1,595.00

In order to install a Hilux Low Range Reduction Housing in front of a chain drive transfer case, two adapters are required to get the job done. First, the bolt pattern at the transmission tailhousing must be converted, and secondly the bolt pattern at the chain drive transfer case must be converted. For the front adapter Marlin Crawler uses a 1/2" thick Billet Aluminum Plate to mate a Hilux Reduction Housing behind the Hilux/Tacoma/4Runner/ transmission. And for the rear adapter Marlin Crawler uses another Billet Aluminum Plate to bolt a Chain Drive Transfer case behind the Hilux Low Range Housing. And what they end up with is the Marlin Crawler TacoBox™, a fully assembled Dualcase Unit.

The heart of the TacoBox™ is the rear adapter. This 6th generation Dualcase Adapter features everything you'd expect from the quality and reliability of Marlin Crawler. First Marlin Crawler machines a block of solid Billet T6061 Aluminum on a CNC mill. Then they use their 32-Ball Double Roller Bearing, the same double roller bearing that has proven itself since 1999. Next they create a Heavy Duty Oversized Coupler and Heat Treat it for the ultimate in strength and reliability.

It is nice to know that Marlin Crawlers chain drive adapters feature the same exclusive advanced reliability design as the gear drive adapters, something Marlin created over 7 years ago! Designed from the strongest and most reliable Toyota Dual Transfer Case System in the World.

These chain drive adapters allow a gear drive reduction housing to mate to the front of a toyota VF-family chain drive transfer case.

The front Adapter Plate is much more simple than the Rear, but it plays an equally important role. It has a rotation option of 10-degrees to help get the front driveline up and out of the rocks. When combined with Marlins rotated rear adapter, a total rotation of 20-degrees is achieved.

Like the Rear Adapter, the Front Adapter is made from a solid piece of Billet T6061 Aluminum. Again Marlin realized that the coupler is perhaps the most important component of these kits, so he built the adapter around a special heat treated oversized coupler. This Front Adapter plate allows a Hilux Gear Drive Reduction Housing to be bolted directly behind a chain drive transfer case style Hilux/Tacoma/4Runner 5-speed or Automatic Transmission.

Applications: 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma or 4Runner; 4cyl or 6cyl; automatic or manual/ 2005+ Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner or FJ Cruiser; 4cyl auto or manual, or 6cyl automatic. Installation available upon request. For the installation of this box into a 2005+ Tacoma with automatic transmission you will need a special shifter to clear the automatic shifter console.

This is a Completely Assembled RTI (Ready To Install) Unit for a Left-Hand front output setup. Unit is assembled with our MC09-T360 Dualcase Adapter. Clockable options include ± 360-degrees in 5-degree increments. Includes: TacoBox™ Unit, Oversized Coupler, Seal Adapter, Sealant, Attaching Hardware, and a Shift Handle with our Marlin Crawler Turtle Knob. 4.00:1 and 4.97:1 ratios available on request. No core charge required.
