    I have been searching online and have found no definitive answer about oil pan for RZ swaps into 2WD pickups. From what I've read, people modify 2WD T100 oil pans. Others say the crossmember needs to be modded. Others say steering linkage needs modding.
    I have a complete 3RZ setup from a 2000 4Runner - engine, harnesses, you name it, I took it from the donor. I was gonna swap into my 85 4Runner, which there is tons of swap info on. But now I'm thinking if I'm gonna do an engine swap on my trail rig, I'm gonna go 1UZ and put the 3RZ in my 91 2WD.
    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, I am in the process in the 2rz 2wd swap in my 94.
    The cross member and sway bar are in the way, I am thinking of chopping and welding the cross member, but gotta think about the sway bar.
    I had to remove both to sit the motor in the truck.
