So today I picked up a set of brown carpets from Jims Toyota parts and on the way home I stoped by the car wash to clean them off. When I got home I started puting the interior back together. I really wanted to take it for a longer test ride to check things out. So here are the pictures of the interior. The test ride went great also, I was supprised how well it did with 35" tires and 410 gears with the auto, it seemed to have more power than it did previousley with the manuel. But then again it had around a 1/4 million miles. I went about 3 miles in it and every thing seemed to work good. I did find that half the dash lighting is out as well as half the inclinometer lighting so I will work on that in the future. Next i want to get the hood and front fenders on so that it does not look so red neck.

 

I got my front drive shaft today. Thank you Scott at Addicted Offroad. I am very excited to have a 4runner that is a 4wheel drive. Mabey tomorrow I will hit up a dirt lot over by my house to flex the suspension and give it a little shake down run. Also did any one notice the extra handle that I mounted above the drivers door, its awesome to help me get my fat bottom into the 4runner. I love when a project starts to come together, to bad its only taken 2 years.

 

Just found your build. Like what I am seeing. Great job. Subscribing and looking forward to more.

 

Did your stock starter from the 5-speed work with the flywheel on A340H? Or could you put the one on the 5speed on the auto?Hope to hear from you soon doing the swap right now!!!

 

Ive had a couple requests for pictures of how the shifter is hooked up and mounted. So here you go.

 

I thought that I would post up a before and after of the shifter.

I love it. Tons better in my opinion.

 

You would never know it had been swapped over. Great job. Your interior looks great.

 

Sorry, I havent been on here in a while. Thank you for the positive comment.
