just my opinion but this just seems a pointless exercise to me, my HZJ 78 with part time hubs does not make a bit of difference to performance and next to nothing in mpg if it is in 4wd or not
Am I right in thinking that some non-UK market Prados were fitted with 2wd/selectable 4wd transfer boxes? I'm not sure on this, but I feel like I've read about it before.
Hahaha thanks for that, I should remove the wiper on the rear window as well....some 4Runner/Surf had selectable i think , the 90 series predecessor with an otherwise very similar drivetrain .
Removing rear seats to save weight and windsreen wipers to improve aerodynamics would likely offer better gains with regards to mpg me thinks .
I admit to healthy skepticism here, and doubt that any improvement in MPG will justify the cost and time involved. However, I'm always interested in experiments so await the results with interest. Kudos for going for it.

I've driven/owned several 2wd/selectable 4wd vehicles (Hiluxs/Isuzu Troopers) and my experience has been that the permanent 4wd of the Colorado has been more stable on the road and less prone to bad handling in the wet/frosty conditions, but I appreciate that's not the point of the experiment.
