Backwards Swap 4wd to 2wd?
I'd like to turn my 89 4runner (22re/ 5spd) into a prerunner. I know the 90-95 4runners came in 2wd so I was thinking I could use the front spindles from one of those... then the only thing left to do would to replace the t-case with the rear of 2wd mini's transmission... would this work? Anyone ever done this?

Go to Total Chaos. They have a great kit. 2x and 4x
Unless its not clear...you should keep the 4x4.

Why? I don't ever use 4x4, so I'd rather not haul it around. I'm guessing mileage would be quite a bit better with 300+ lbs less in the vehicle.
Why would I need different transmission... didn't the 2wd trucks use the same tranny?

I beileve you would have to get the rear housing off a 2wd and i think the 2wd output shaft as well.... (ITs really hard to talk about this) I've never seen anyone want to ruin a good truck like this... Just get a 2wd truck? Mileage would not be worth the work IMO. Get the factory tires which are like 235 75 i beileve and tune the truck.... You would have to re-work the center console since the 4wd shifter will be gone...

Absolutely! I couldn't agree with you more!
Me too, I couldn't agree with you more!
Ask me that after you get stuck.
