Factory wires run down the back of the block. There are some clips on the oil pan that hold wires for 1,3,2,and 4 cylinders. Jack it up, pull the wheels off, and get ready to slide in and out from the underneath to put new wires on in the factory positions. Points and condenser are always a challenge on a 4X$ as you are usually working from the top of the engine and it sits back 3" further that a 2WD truck. I find it easier to put the engine on TDC and pull the distributor out, replace the points and condenser on the bench, gap the points, and then put the distributor back in. Be sure to check the vacuum advance on the distributor to insure it is working. Set the dwell once fired up with a dwell meter, and then set timing with the vacuum advance line disconnected and plugged and the truck idling at about 650 rpms or so.

See, I'm not in 4x4 hi or lo, and the hubs are surely in the unlocked position. I've driven jeeps and test driven tacomas on pavement, and the sound/feeling is certainly not like the "crabbing" of locked axles slipping on asphalt.
it ONLY Happens when I accelerate and am 50% to 100% turned to the left!
