Before you do that, call the dealer with your VIN and make sure it's not subject to the relay rod recall. (I don't recall the applicable years.)
And since Toyota felt it worth a recall to put in a beefier one, I'd spring for the $200 to go OEM. http://www.toyotapartsoverstock.com/...chString=relay

My 87 two wheel drive didn't fall under the recall as well. Toyota should of recalled them as the Relay Rod is a poor design. The passenger side is the side to really check for on these two wheel drive trucks.

Yes, you are correct. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs...5V389-7917.PDF (1089-1995 4WD).
