Well I sold my 94 truck and bought a 97 runner 2wd with a 3rz 4cyl.

Plans are to sas it with a toyota mini truck axle, dual gear drive cases, locked front and rear and body protection for starters. I want this to be a good daily driver/wheeler.

before

after

you could source a W56B instead so you wont need the adaptor to the cases.

this sounds like a sweet build

yotatough · « **Reply #2 on:** Jun 15, 2009, 11:28:12 PM »

I was under the impression that there would be an issue with the "speed sensor" ? not to sure yet havent looked into that issue verry much yet.

would there be an issue with the tranny or will it be fine? I think that would be cheaper to go the route of the w56 for sure

THK Matt · « **Reply #3 on:** Jun 15, 2009, 11:30:21 PM »

take the speed sensor from the w59 and put in the W56 tallhousing?

id definately check that route out.

yotatough · « **Reply #4 on:** Jun 15, 2009, 11:52:36 PM »

this speed sensor that I keep hearing about. Is it just for the speedo? Or dose it affect the way the motor runs at all?

yotatough · « **Reply #5 on:** Jun 15, 2009, 11:54:00 PM »

If it's just for the speedo I think I need to try to to that route.

just the speedo IIRC.
call and talk to the trans tech at marlin and he'd tell you

yotatough · « **Reply #7 on:** Jun 16, 2009, 12:27:11 PM »

Yeah I'm gonna do that. I'll call after work.

yotatough · « **Reply #8 on:** Jun 16, 2009, 09:08:40 PM »

I didnt have time today to call. dose anyone know for sure if the speed sensor will be a problem if I run a w56? it should be the same either way I would think.

thanks

Cool sounds like a good project. I love seeing Tacos and 3rd gen 4runners doing it all yota

yotatough · « **Reply #11 on:** Jun 23, 2009, 12:21:45 PM »

I'm Still collecting parts for the swap. Just got an axle, cases, histeer, crossmember, some springs(rears to mix and make a front pack). Just need a few more parts and some more money. I can't wait to start cutting this thing up.

yotatough · « **Reply #13 on:** Jun 29, 2009, 05:33:26 AM »

Sweet deal! It's about time you got that thing back on the road.

I still need a few things before I can start chopping on mine, soon though.

if your going to use gear driven cases that were used with a mechanical speedo sensor you will need this

it converts the mechanical speedo that was origially in the gear driven cases into a 4 pulse 3 wire electrical signal that was used in the newer trucks/runners. it will plug right into your harness

yotatough · « **Reply #15 on:** Jul 02, 2009, 10:12:41 PM »

where does one buy that and how much is it? my 94 had a electronic speedo

potter85 · « **Reply #16 on:** Jul 03, 2009, 11:24:12 AM »

you can buy that adapter right here. if your speedometer you are using is a cable one you wont need this adapter. If it is electric (almost positive it is) you will need to buy this adapter

been workin alot latly and still trying to gather all the parts for this build.

It feels like its taking FOREVER just to get the rest of my parts (mainly because I'm broke all the time)

but it will happen soon!!!!!!

THK Matt · « **Reply #23 on:** Jul 29, 2009, 09:09:44 PM »

yotatough · « **Reply #24 on:** Jul 31, 2009, 09:04:48 PM »

I'm still gathering all the stuff I need first, its taking a little longer than I thought but it will come

this is the day I got it home, it was in a small rear end accident (thats where some of my funds went) so I bought a new hatch for it and I'm gonna make a new rear bumper for it.

these are the rims and tires i got for it. I LIKE EM!!

I am doing a sas to my 3.4 98 4runner and going to use the 1980 topshift case I have. Does this little adapter plug into the stock wiring harness on my 4runner?
