New here, thought I'd say hello. I've got a '92 T4R. I bought it for a song and a dance in Toronto a couple years ago after my Pathfinder crapped-out. I've been relatively happy with it, it's our winter truck and a daily driver for my wife right now but when she gets a new car it'll be my daily driver. I've gotta say I'm not happy with the power though, we have a lot of big trucks on single lane highways around here and the passing power of this 3.0 is severely lacking. I'd also like a solid front axle to handle tall tires to get through some of the snow we get out here. I have a few ideas in mind: solid front axle (to handle the big tires), 38+" tires with lift and trimming to fit, 5.0L EFI mated to the stock 5-speed. I'd like to keep the lift to a minimum and trim as much as possible to make room for the tires so that stability isn't compromised. It's got some pretty good rust around the wheel wells anyways so I don't mind cutting it up and putting in some kind of flares in. Maybe replace the coil shocks on the rear axle with leafs (what are the pros & cons to this?). Anyways, here's a couple pictures (with my summer ride too). Any ideas or a point in the right direction with regards to my project would be much appreciated. Cheers!

Hi! Not that I've been around here much longer than you, but welcome to the forum.

As far as your 5.0L swap goes, Advance Adaptors has a magzine like thing available that goes into great detail about what trannies and transfer cases work. You might see if your local 4WD shop has it available. And of course Advance Adaptors sells all the parts you'll need.

Also, Northwest Off Road sells a bunch of stuff for engine swaps. I've never dealt with Advance Adaptors but I have dealt with NWOR. Good folks running that outfit.
