Just bought a 3rd gen 4Runner and has the 4WD set up as yours. Thanks for making this video! I have a 2nd gen tundra and it has a knob to switch it from 2wd to 4HI and then 4LO (obviously stopped and neutral). Thanks again dude!
With a manual transmission, those levers are switched around. The gearshift lever is on the left while the transfer case lever is on the right. I just bought a '98 4Runner 4WD with a 5-speed.

Interesting! my 3rd Gen Surf is a little different, does yours have a centre diff lock? I have a little 4WD button on the side of the shifter to switch between 2WD and 4WD, then if a pull back that puts me in 4WD High ratio with centre lock , then go across and forward 4WD Low ratio centre lock.

That little accessory instrument panel, is that for automatic transmission temp? To avoid pink milkshake? I see a ton of 4runners with that thing. Is it worth it if you dont have an automatic? Any other useful info besides trans temp? 98 sr5 5speed v6 4x4 rust free minty.
It hooks up to the OBDII port and can tell you just about anything: I use it for engine temp, tranny temp, batt voltage and MPG. So yes it definitely helps to monitor temps. I have a video coming out soon talking over that in more detail
The "N" is NEUTRAL. IT SHOULD BE USED WHEN TOWING/PULLING A VEHICLE. *FAILURE TO ENGAGE THE TRANSFER CASE INTO NEUTRAL WILL BE DISASTROUS. I purposely used all caps as a CAUTION ⚠️. I Have watched many 4x4 channels and NONE ever mention the uses and applications of the N. Am also curious, this model doesn't have a Center Diff Lock? That's weird. If that's the case then it's imperative for the audience to know this is NOT a True 4x4 and you can't speed or corner with this truck. M
Yes! Very good point. I may make a separate video just for that. I didn't mention it as 95% of the time it won't be applicable. But... that 5% of the time you need to use it, it's very critical otherwise bye bye drivetrain. This is a 2000, so it's a "true" 4x4. In other words, the "center diff" (which it doesn't have) is constantly locked when 4x4 is engaged. So it should only be driven in 4x4 when offroad or on snow. It's no good for dry pavement. Cheers
It lets you stay in gear longer before it shifts. It was intended to be turned on when you are towing something with the 4runner but a lot of people including myself just leave it on so the car doesn't feel as slow
Yes, it basically allows the engine to rev higher before shifting. For instance, with ECT off, it might shift at 2,500 rpm for a given pedal input, vs. with ECT on, it would shift at something like 3,000 rpm instead...

I wanna say you can shift into 4H up to 55mph
Yes! You're right. Up to ~55 mph is safe, so long as you're going straight and all wheels are spinning at the same speed.

Thank you for your video very helpful
Thank you! This was helpful
OMG, your subs are growing
Haha slowly but surely
Thank you
4 low and 4 hi I feel like I’m driving over pot holes. It engages but it’s a rough ride

Why do the gears rub when I put the 4l gear, have you encountered this problem?
Shifting to low gear is the hardest thing to do!
My truck shows the 4wd light is still on, even with me in 4 low. I can feel its still in 4 high, how can i disengage and get back to 4 low?

Right! They added that version shifter on the limited models in 99-00 and then on all models for 01-02. What year is yours?

Whoa I didn’t know you can shift to 4H while driving 🤯
Yessir, up to about 55mph. Just make sure you're going straight when you do it and all 4 wheels are spinning at the same speed
Where did you get the little gauge you have too see how fast your driving and rpm's and what not
Company called ScanGauge makes them.

from where did you buy the MPG thingy for your car and doest it show the Miles/Km per liters correctly?
Hahaha it’s called a “Scan Gauge”. It came with the car when I bought it, mostly I use it for monitoring engine/tranny temps
What does the button on the left hand side of the shifter do I know it lights up and says ect
Its like an awd mode basically
There should be other vids on youtube for that version. It's essentially AWD (center diff lock is not engaged)
Do you have to lock the hubbs?
Not for factory... only if you've added hub lockers
do tou have to be rolling to go into 4hi?
No, you can do it at a stand-still. Sometimes it takes a second or two of driving for the 4wd light to come on tho.

Yo, what does ECT Power mean?
It lets you stay in gear longer before it shifts. It was intended to be turned on when you are towing something with the 4runner but a lot of people including myself just leave it on so the car doesn't feel as slow
@@EricV206 that's interesting.

Need to show what that button that says for WD on the shift lever
