Dude! Sup? If you still have your rig, I can't guess what if that's a good thing or bad... I know what it's like to have to give up something but really needing the money ATM. ......

Brother, you gotta fill us in! How you doing?

Ahhhh.... Thanks Richard, that's what I thought. I looked at one post he made and it said January 10 2014... But that was just regarding the mirrors. I mixed that up and "hey I have to fix a cv".... haha.

....Hope everything's going ok J dawg

Hey dude, naw I never ended up selling it. I threw a used trans in it from a 92 but the damn thing shifts 1000 rpms higher than it should. If I can get the damn thing running right again I'm gonna keep it and finish it but if not Im sadly gonna just get rid of it already. Plus I couldnt keep up with you "SAS"ed guys anyway, Im just a ˟˟˟˟ty old torion ifs guy.

Ah hahhhhh! For my intuition was right! Something about the way you worded that made me think that you had kept it... That thing is a gem dude... If you can just be patient, I'm sure it will all work out and you'll be glad that you kept it... Much better than being really pissed off at you got rid of it. I thought you had blazeland something? I read your hole classified all that but it's just that I'm on information overload lately. L_o_l. If there is something within reason of time I have to spare I can't do to help, please let me know man . I have seen more than 1 V6 trans at the yard. Maybe if we spot 1 we can grab it for you... Anyway, as long as you are happy in part that you still have it, I'm happy for you. Good to see you post again and please, remember, send me a text or shout on my page or on Instagram or something... If you think I might be able to find something that you need. Or if you just need a hand, literally. Take care buddy

Dude you have the Blazeland kit. You can too keep up with us. Heck check out the pix from our trio to Big Bear with Red Wagon's 2nd gen with long travel. He did perfectly fine with one locker dude!

Glad you didn't get rid of it. Maybe you can join us some day at Angels Crest.

Thnaks dudes, naw I dont have blazeland I have the ome with ball joint spacers which are bs might I add. Im just gonna stick a bracket lift on it and call it a day. And Chef I had the trans swapped but its shifts 1000rpms higher than it should so I dont really think I needed to swap the trans out again. All I gotta do is find me a sugar mama doctor or nurse.

Having a parts rig comes in handy and will pay for itself 10 times over and help you get your rig back to the way you want it. You will use more parts off of it then you think. You are coming along nicely on your project.

Yup it already has, after i use everything I need and sell off the rest I'll probably end up making a little money on the thing.

Welp I started the swap today. I am no mechanic so taking the trans out was long and painful but I got it out and all the parts I need for the swap. My rigs 60 miles away at my mechanics shop where I will work on it so its gonna take a few weeks at least. RIP to the poor sob 4runner I tore apart, the guy I bought it from got it mint from his dad three years ago. Took bad that wasnt my dad.

Switch is above brake pedal. wires go straight back to tail lights. Check the bulbs first. Maybe a broken socket. Or a blown fuse.
