Yeah....I wonder that too. I am thinking it maybe for the compass? But having a hard time with that too

60 has a vss?The 60/62 already has a vss (4 pulse/rot, not sure how that compares to the Tacoma). Its the grn/blk wire that goes to the speedo, as well as the emissions computer in the ds kick panel (for the 60). Hth
sorry I see the question. I have removed the existing VSS with the diesel conversion but I do have the GM version on the new motor. However, I think I need to understand the signal characteristics to get it to work. I think I’ll get instrument techs at work to help me explore how that Tacoma compass works60 has a vss?
So you do have vss with your swap if so you can see if the Dakota digital signal box will take your vss and program it to see the Tacoma vss pulse whatever that may be pretty sure its 4 pulse as stated in a earlier post. Here is a pic of the Dakota digital signal box couldn't remember the part# but had a pic on my phone from a lsswap that i did.sorry I see the question.

These are things I want to do, I haven't done them yet...
The steering wheel with the stereo controls started in 2003. Just cruise control started earlier than that.
The rear seats on my old 4Runner had 3 connection points. The side hinge, and top pin connection (same as our 60's, and the center between the seats had a connection that held the seats together and bolted to the body. (see pic below). That's all that held the seat backs in place. You pulled the pin and the seat released from it's latch and folded down same as the 60's. I imagine the steel frames were built similar considering they are similar years of construction from Toyota. They were pretty stout. (sorry for the bad pics, I don't have the 4runner anymore and had to steal some pics from the web).
There is a center pin that connects the seats together at the bottom in the middle of the seats and bolts to the body:

And they have the pin that you pull to release them from the side of the body (same as the 60).

Showing the pull pin and 2 hinges per seat

Perfect spot for the Redarc brake controller. Wish I'd thought of that before placing in a switch blank location.As typical, work and other “life” stuff prevents progress. However I have made progress especially withe the new 62 dash. I had to spend a LOT of time correcting my sins with the engine swap wiring. Start with the “Old Dash” to compare to the new one

Its been a long but fun journey, but I am mostly complete with getting the Antichrist past all mechanical and exterior improvements in the vein of a resto mod. Gone through the drive train including a Detroit Diesel 6.2l Turbo Diesel, paint cushion tail gate, suspension, bumpers, Yady ya.

I did replace the carpet with SOR carpet kit and the SOR seat covers (which faded its color very quickly. The interior is in pretty good shape and is clean and functional.
