Ok just a few questions. As for the transmission which did you go with the one that came with the 1uz or did you get a bell housing to use your old transmission from the 4Runner? Which transfer case did you go with? I noticed you put in dual cases other then the wrong seal were there any other big issues with that? Thanks

dude the tranny I am using is the auto from the lexus, I am using the inchworm prerunner adapter with a gear driven case and thats it . Not using dual cases .

the inchworm adapter does not come with eveything you need , you have to cut the out put shaft tfrom the lexus a bit also you need an extra spacer so that the coupler doesnt slide back while on the shafts. There is a 3/4 gap that if not filled will cause the coupler to slide also causing the 4 prong rotor to slide also.

This is the place that did it if your local and need someone .

Also one of my neighbors that I never talk to , we just wave at each other when we see each other. Stopped by to see what I was doing with the truck and come to find out he works for a big steel supply company , he Gave me a sheet of plate steel 3/8th by 48 by 16 .. and reffered me to one of their customers so I could have it bent for my crossmember. So Im taking this in tomorrow. Thanks again Mike !!

Hey Dwayne , Thanks alot man , I will definetly post a video of it running when done actually ill post alot of videos when done .

I am trying to post as much info as possible to make it eaiser for others , they can take what they like and ignore what they dont.

I wish I could have posted more info on the wiring but I was really stressed and my brain was hurting with all those diagrams and stuff .Just couldnt do it.

Hopefully if I can get the steel bent by friday and then I can cut and drill what I need to to make the crossmember, if so I can drive this thing this weekend. If not it will have to wait a week , im going on vacation and wont be able to touch this thing all week.

Thanks again Dwayne
