    Alright so I just bought an 05 4runner with the v8 in and the previous owner had the both catalytic converters taken off. It’s throwing the P0037 code and I’m wondering if there is a simulator that could trick the computer or if I need to replace the O2 sensor. Also, the guy said the transfer case was messed up and wouldn’t allow it to go into lo4, however I can hear the relay working and the actuator working but it won’t engage and causes the center diff lock light to stay on with an annoying beep. If y’all can help in anyway that would be great!

    Too many mods and too much money
    Underdog Racing Development has Simulators. If you haven't replaced the CATS, a new o2 sensor won't help. Is there a performance exhaust installed?

    I wonder if your 4Lo issues are because the ECU is setting the p0037 code and it is not letting it engage until the error is fixed. The actuators do get wet or lack of use will cause a failure sometimes, but judging by all the mods he did take it off road occasionally, so lack of use might not be the case here. That's all I got. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.

    Good Luck!
