Best parts to swap from 4runner into pickup?
I have first dibs on a 93 4runner. done lots of searching and it seems as though everyone loves to pull sr5 seats and gauge clusters from 4runners for their pickups, but what else?
I was planning on grabbing the rear-view mirror light assembly, but didn't see much else that was transferrable.

Actually pretty much everything electric is transferable except the drivers side window controls if it's a 4dr. you can grab the steering column surround and with the body control module (attached to the crossmember above the hood release) get the ignition light if you don't already have it... the glove box light maybe transferable too. you will have to swap the seat tracks from the truck onto the sr5 sests to give yuo enough seat travel if you have an xtra cab.

i snagged sun visors with mirrors :p not to mention lower gears, the dash clock, i think v6 rigs had a better brake set up than 22re pick ups? bigger booster or something idk. then just all the front end parts in case you ruin anything on yours plus just to have as spares... thats what i did anyway

Is the glovebox light plug and play? I have the complete base model truck, which at first I figured wouldn't be such a bad thing, but now I'm realizing all those little things I'm missing out on.
Once I get back on my feet, I'm so going to junkyard until my feet fall off.

With a great deal of difficulty yes... the cruise on these yotas is a vacuum operated unit so you need to grab the steering wheel and column guts, the brain box, the vacuum motor, the throttle body and the wiring
some runners have the light others don't it (and the glove box light) were part of the 'convienence light group' or something like that...
the glove box light is not quite plug and play put pretty close you just nned to tap into a live 12v source and a ground... the attachment pts. are more or less there you may have to glue the light socket into the hole that is there is all... the switch will pop into it's hole.
Ooh, I didn't know that the 4Runner had an ignition light. I definitely miss not having that in my truck.
