The gear will be the same size, the bearings are different.

I think the Runner should have an 8" diff. The Taco will have it as long as it is TRD which ought to mean it is locked.

The only way it'll fit (without mods) is if both had the electric locker. If both are unlocked, then the Tacoma has a 8.4" diff and the 4Runner a 8". If the Tacoma has the 8" elocker, it can be made to fit the 8" 4Runner housing but requires mod to the housing.
