Hello all. Newbie here.
I have a 2002 Tacoma TRD 4x4 w/ 120K on it.
It has a replacement frame. Body is in fair shape.
Has the dreaded leaking rear diff. Tried a bunch of different band aids with no permanent luck.
A buddy of mine just took a beat, rotted, 1996 Taco on trade with a newer southern replacement rear end. He's offered it to me.
Gear ratio codes are the same. Mine has a locker, this one doesn't.
I assume it will swap right into my 02??

 

from 95.5 to 2004 the axle housing should be the same....should work just fine.

 

Thanks. Actually swapped it out last night. Fit perfectly.

 

Swap your thirds so you still have the locker..
