Me and a few other 4wd monthly forum members got invited out to Landcruiser Mountain Park yesterday to shoot a dvd for the magazine. Had an absolute ball, and was good to finally give the 4runner a run on some decent tracks out at Cruiser Park.....Only breakages was one of the rear flares got ripped off from the tyres scrubbing on it, then I ran over it. Should have taken them off before doing camp road, but it is repairable..so all good.

Phew pics.

Thx for the info. I live in brissy. Before you rip it apart, I'd be stoked if i could head up and have 10 minutes of ur time(w/case of beer donation). I'm trying to get as much info before opening up this can of worms cause i've only got a window of 1 week to do all this at the end of next month and don't want any surprises, at least no big ones. cheers

 

Hey Mate, the truck is now in brissy getting the work done.....if you get stuck with anything just let me know.....best to email me on twisty_toy94@hotmail.com as the notification off here doesn't always work.

Cheers
Dave

 

i'm a newb to toyota's. so i was wondering will this swap works for a 93 22re pickup. i know somebody that has a ls400 they want to get rid of and after reading this post, it makes me thinking about do ing the same swap.

 

Im cuda408 on youtube. I sent you a message I've changed trucks around a bit. Im looking into getting a 1979-1983 toyota would the 1uzfe fit in one? If not im looking into putting in a 1985-1988 22R-TE. Any help will be appreciated.

 

Did you happen to hook your air conditioning back up? Or did you just eliminate it?

 

updates?

 

Twisty - That truck is killer! Looks just like mine, but not stock...

Good job on the work. My desktop at work is a picture of your truck...it's motivation for me to SELL, SELL, SELL!!! Then, perhaps one day I can have a V8 4Runner as well!

Again...AWESOME truck!!!

 

Everytime somone bumps this thread I get to drool over your truck again! I wish I could afford the 1uz swap!!

 

that's sick...

1) You've got a lot of nice looking Yotes

2) I can't believe some videos haven't been posted up yet... here, I'll post some, lol

Hello Twisty,

Firstly NICE... Very NICE!!!

I have a 89' 4Runner (same color) with a 22R stock and I am looking at doing the same.

My first question is, did you have to weld or change anything to the chassis to mount the gearbox, you mentioned before it moves back about 1"???

any help would be much appreciated

 

I hadn't seen this thread before, but its makeing me wonder if i want to do this or the 3.4! LOL Decisions, Decisions!



BTW, how did you like those trxus? i love mine!


SICK RIG!

 

i gonna do this swap

funny part is i thought of this swap before i even look to see if it was done

the transmission can be done some many ways


adapter plate to 1jz bell housing to r series trans using toyota supra clutch

this will move the motor frowd 1 inc so the transmission should not have to move

can you explain this monte for me again


just need to finish my stupid mk3 supra

 

I want to do this swap SO BADLY~

 

Hi do you have drawings and dimensions for the engine mounts? Is your 4x4 manual or auto?Did you move the gearbox forwards by 25mm? I am using a auto box.
Thanks

Hey Twisty, 2 quick questions.

I'm bout to do a swap, leaning towards the 1uz. Do you know if the 90-97 1uz is the same as the 98 and up 1uz, dimension wise?

The other question, do you know if the R151F Transmission will work just as nice?

 

all 1uz are all the same cetp slight changes to wireing and the trac auto plate for the auto trans and some other things

 

Depending on which model, the exhaust manifolds are different. The ones that come in the SC400 are different & will fit in the trucks with little or no modification. There are also 3 different oil sumps (front, mid, rear); if you're looking at putting in an IFS truck, you'll want the front sump model to fit, which may STILL require some modification.
