They appear to be beefier units than the 4R ones.

Slowly but surely plugging away at it! I'm liking it, miss the roll down rear window a lot though.

yeah the roll down back window is the GREATEST thing about 4Runners!! nothing like sunroof open and the back window down!

There is a thread on here with all the Info. I know it was a lot of trial and error but they finally figured out which parts would work. I dont have the link but I'm sure if you try the search bar it will pop up. I know you have to replace the OTRE's as well.

That is by far the thing I miss most about the 4runner. I miss 2wd a bit (especially when I want to play in the snow) but, really it's just the roll down rear window that I covet.
