Rear End Tacoma?

Hey what kind of rear end do the 99 Tacoma's have? Dana 44? Or am I way off? Just curious...

Dana is domestic. Tacoma's have a Toyota 8" or 8.4" rear diff, for TRD and non-trd, respectively.

I looks like in his profile that he has the TRD package so his rear axle would be the 8" correct?
Thanks

That is correct. A TRD rear end would take the gears listed here; http://www.precisiongear.com/toy8v6.htm

And a non-TRD rear end would take these; http://www.precisiongear.com/toyta8.htm

The ring gear on the non-TRD is 1 cm or .39" larger.

Apparently the difference is .39".

There are alot more gear and locker options for the 8" (just speculating since the 8" has been around since the dawn of mankind)

I prefer the 8" just because it has ANY locker option you want. The 8.4 is pretty new. And the D44 is not strictly domestic. The Titan has a D44 variant in the rear.
