Very nice write up here, thank you for sharing.

Couple questions.

I have the '93 P.U. Planned on this a few years back & for next to nothing. I picked up the 3400, 5 speed trans/transfer case, both axles, drive shafts, ECM & all the wiring from a 96 4Runner. I've been saying, soon as something dies on this truck, I'm doing it. Well clutch went out(finally, can't kill a TOY) & that's close enough. I haven't compared drive trains yet. Since the new rear axle is the locker type I'm considering swapping it as well, or if just doing the entire package would be easier. Any input pro's & con's?
