(newbie) 94 to 86 diff swap
I have been lurking here for over a year now and have learned a lot from the very knowledgeable posters.
I have a 86'4Runner with stock 4:10s and I just picked up a junker 94'4runner with 4:88s (code G144).
Can I do a direct diff swap between the trucks? I want to put the 4:10 diffs in the 94' and the 4:88s in the 1986. The 86 is my DD and I plan on selling the 94 after I rebuild the engine.
Thanks, Mike from Tampa

FYI: Rear 3rd member will swap, but not the rear axle. The 94 will be a coil/link setup, the 86 will be leaf. Also, the 94 will be setup for ABS while the 86 wont.
Also, I was talking solely about the front in the previous post, guess i should have clarified.

Thanks a lot for the replies.
Its funny, after looking for a 4Runner with 4:88's for almost a year now. The day after I buy one I found two more at the junk yard today. O-well

OK, so I got the rear diffs switched out and now I have both front diffs sitting in the driveway. How do I swap out the axle tubs from the 94' V6 diff to the 86' 4cyl diff? Do I need to pull off the diff cover and remove a snap ring or something?
