rear axle questions?
i have a 92 toyota 4x4 with a 22re. I was wondering if a if locking third member out of a newer tacoma will fit in my housing, or if a newer tacoma housing is the same dimensions as mine. Any help would be great.

In the past this diff has also been mistakenly called an 8.4" or 8.25" diff. The ring gear actually measures 8", but it is not compatible with the older 8" diffs at all. The extra strength of this diff comes from the bearing cap/truss and large diameter pinion gear shaft.
Aftermarket parts have so far been fairly limited for this diff. At this time, the only LSD available is the TRD/Kazuma clutch-type 3-pinion LSD, the OEM 4-pinion Tundra TRD LSD, and the only lockers available are the Powertrax "Lock-right," "No-Slip," and the ARB Air Locker (RD-89). Update- Tractech also now makes a Detroit Softlocker and Truetrac for this diff.
This diff cannot be fitted to an older style 8" axle because it uses a larger diameter mounting bolt pattern and because more space inside the housing necessary to accommodate the large bearing cap. The different bolt pattern also makes it very impractical to swap in an electric locking Toyota diff (the whole mounting flange would have to be re-done using a special jig).
Twelve 12mm ring gear bolts, 30 spline pinion shaft.
so technically, you are correct but, it still wont work
