I just converted my 2001 AC Tundra to a manual transmission and thought I’d share the project here. When I decided to do this there was no information about anyone else doing this so hopefully this will help others who are thinking about making the swap.
Here are a some pictures and basic truck specs to get started. I’ll be working on a build thread soon to show how I did everything.
Basic specs:
2001 SR5 Access Cab Toyota Tundra w/ 2UZ-FE V8
2.5” OME / Icon racing suspension lift
SPC adjustable upper control arms
BFG KM3 305/70R16 mud tires
SCS 16x8 wheels with 3.5” back spacing
Custom built rock sliders
Custom built low profile roof top tent rack
Smittybuilt XL roof top tent
5speed R150F manual transmission
J-shift manual transfer case
This is awesome. I definitely wanna see the build thread when you make it. I wonder if the factory transfer case would work. I have the electronic shift case.
Anyway, looking forward to a build thread for if my auto ever dies. I plan on putting a manual in my Durango whenever funds are available and I have space to work.
I am using a factory Toyota transfer case. It’s actually the same same exact transfer case that the v8 had but it is setup with a top manual top shifter instead of an electronic actuator.

Hey guys just wanted to share a little project i just finished.
I found these puddle lights on eBay for a few bucks, they are for ford mirrors since they have puddle lights on the mirrors.
i knew the whole light wouldn’t fit inside the mirrors so i took it apart and silicone sealed the circuit...
Hello, I was wondering if anybody here has swapped their cloth manual seat for an electric leather one, and if so, if the wiring was already there to do it. I love my tundra, but having an electric seat would be great, and i found one locally without tears for $95. Any help or advice is greatly...
Well, I finally got around to fixing my broken column shifter on my tilt steering column after procrastinating for the last 8 months....lol. Unfortunately, I can't show a great deal of pics since my camera's batteries died after the 3rd or 4th shot, so I had to take post pics and describe the...
Anyone put an Eaton E-locker on their 2WD 1st Gen Tundra? My 2004 2WD Tundra has the factory LSD, but it has let me down one too many times. My truck sucks in the snow, even with 400 lbs of weight over the read axle. I thought of selling the truck and getting a 2006 4WD Tundra, but if I can...
