I am posting up a swap and solid axle swap I did a few years back and had to put on the back burner for a minute I didnt document all of it in too much detail but I simplified alot of it to make it an easier to read thread.

I will be posting up 3 customers current swaps (1992 Toyota 4wd 4runner, 1993 Toyota 2wd 4runner and a 1994 2wd shortbed) as well just in different threads. this swap.... is well a no brainer and stupid simple. used 3vze- 1000 to 3000 for a junk rebuild. lexus 1UZFE 250.bucks all day long. just do your homework when shopping around.

I will post up a wire harness tip that makes it a little more easy to do as well.

here is a pic of the 4runner (site wouldnt let me load a larger pic?!)

use photobucket or similar sites to host your pics, then just use the [IMG] code to show them in your post.

Im just getting to the final stages of my project, 1UZ' & SAS

Yea, use photobucket so we can see the pics better .. lntersted in seeing the details .. i dont know about stupid simple but i would agree its not hard just lots of little things to get past.. or maybe after a few swaps it would get alot easier .. where are you guys located?

ahh yeah photobucket, that will work.

I produce engine mounts for 3VZE and 22R that make this a bolt in swap hence the stupid simple remark. when I say stupid simple I am refering to this being just like as if you were replacing the 6 or 4 cylinder.
other than power steering, trnny and gas lines being custom (easy to measure and make or have made) their are a couple tranfer case adapters made to bolt up the Tcase (inchworm, T100)

the radiator is a custom 1 but the factory fan can be used, I am not a big fan of modifiying the core support so other than a small amount of trimming to the sides thats about it.

I have cut the top off(4door) and am currently building a rollcage, 3 linked the rear as well.
I will post up some of what I did to get it where its at today

Engine mounts bolted to block with factory 3vze rubber mount attached

here are the new doors for the convertible.... or should I say roadster (no top ever makes it a roadster not a convertible)

hence the name Off Roadster

btw door weight with windows and electrics 55 lbs (passenger n driver doors) after removing glass and window motors the weight was cut in half down to 27 pounds per door add that to the back window glass, sunroof and 2 back side windows along with the weight of the entire metal top and thats some crazy weight savings.

the roll cage will bring some of that weight back though

So what's the wiring tip?

I am starting the wiring right now and am also very interested in ANYTHING that will make that process more simple...???

I'm interested in a set of the bolt in mounts for the 22re. I am getting ready to start aquiring parts for the swap.
