Because Toyota p/us and 4runners with factory solid axles have 8" front and rear diffs.
If you dont want the tire spin, then get a locker, like has been mentioned many times already in this thread.

But unless someone has swapped in another axle, you have 8" front and rear. An auto-locker or manually selectable one (e-locker or air locker) will do what you want:

dude you need to go read up alot before you go wheeling again. If you dont even know the difference between a locker and locking hubs then you also need to LOOK OVER and LEARN your truck. Sorry if im harsh but thats just not smart wheeling when you dont even know anything bout your truck! ... again sorry for being harsh

honeslty that is a cheap way to do it, but personally if you wanna wheel and dont wanna spend lots of money in the long run get a locker. Nothings cheap cheap in this world and you wanna get good quaility equipment id suggest a detroit or aussie or if you want selectable get a arb and im not sure what others are selectable youd have to shop around. either way welding it willlll work but youll go threw tires.

man we are trying to be rude. bu tyou need to search young grasshopper. ALL of teh questions you have asked could have been answered with a simple search on here, googel, and other places. Search-we all do it. go to googel, type in "locker in toyota" or "how does differential locker work"
