This thread is all over the place, but these folks made tanks that install in spare tire locations. Same tanks as the Downey ones. Can google to find more info....
But they recently sold their fuel tank part of their business, so call the new guy for info, listed on the website: http://www.nwmp.com/
Also, these auxillary fuel tanks are CARB and DOT compliant I believe... Only issue w/ them is that rather than gravity fed to drain plug of factory tank, some have switched to an auxillary pump into top of factory tank to prevent lien from getting dislodged.

Anyway. My 4*4 light doesn't come on. :/
Was informed my front shocks are to long for a 2" lift. I only assume I have a lift. How can I be able to tell 100%?
Will also be getting new sway bar bushings and maybe a new sway bar. Mine is rusted.
Sorry for random. Any suggestions?

Id like to pull the luck on the back gate. Mine is stuck locked for some reason. Does have a big dent right at the gate lock so that might be he issue. Lol
I'd like to just pull the lock but still have it latch. Any help?

That sounds logical. Just what...beat the dent out? Lol. Then try it?

Haha yes thats exactly what I did. Mine is dented pretty bad and I just pulled that plate off and carefully fine tuned it with a 22oz. Estwing waffle head. Works like a champ now

All 4Runners are made in Japan. It's the trucks where the distinction comes into play. Most, but not all, 4wd Trucks were made in Japan. The US 2wd pickup manufacture began a year or two prior to the 4wd US assembly. All next gen Tacomas and now the Tundras are US made as well. T100s are sort of like this gen pickups. US manufacture started in 1996 through 1998 when the Tundra was introduced -- the Tundra also being exclusively US made...

Start reading up on the 3.4 5VZ-FE (V-6) swap. Bolts in with a little wiring swapping. Or if you're feeling frisky, a 1UZ V-8 swap. It's been done many times also. A bit more fabricating though.
As far as headlights, just look at the back of the headlight housing. I didn't look at your pics close enough yet to see if you do have bulb-only replacement option. Edit: you have to replace the entire headlight to upgrade. Probably 6054s? I did the Hella e-code upgrade and I love it. 80/110W bulbs.
And it does appear slightly lifted, maybe a couple inches? It's hard to tell on rear coil springs unless you have a sticker close by. And it could be a torsion bar crank up front. Unless there is a body lift I can't see.

And it definitely looks like you need to relax your torsion bars. Despite you rear being a little flat, it looks like your tbars have been cranked. Can't see in the pics, but it's possible you have mild ball joint spacers, but definitely think it looks more like tbars cranked to max -- not a good idea.

Thanks for the info. If I had a tape measure or something I would measure. It sits high. I'm 6 foot and I have to step up to get in.
I'm not wanting to swap motors. Just asking if it would be cheaper. Ive heard good things about the 3.4. Would my best bet be to just find a wrecked truck? If I did the 3.4 swap would it be mainly just the engine bay harness and the ecu that got swapped?
Edit: my head lights don't look like the bulbs come out. Where would the sticker for the lift be?

You're going to want to replace both your sway bar end link and sway bar bracket to frame bushings. Both of those are failing and brittle due to age. Both allows for greater flex (the frame bushings) and gives more support in cornering (the end link bushings).

Found an ignition and key for 30$. Woo hoo.

You need custom parts and it's probably easiest to buy.
