Is it a prerunner or 2x4?

 

[scubascott]

its 4x4 sr5. I FOUND IT. Its on the front of the differential completely covered in crud. Totally in a different place than all the videos on youtube. Supprisingly not much on 2003 models. Good thing is I had some oil left in the differential. Seals are ruined. Probably due to the toyco suspension lift I put on 2 yrs ago. I'll never do that again

 

[scubascott]

I'll probably sue them for damages and waste of my time

 

[OR17TRD]

You should post pictures and do a YouTube tutorial on changing the front diff on a gen1 tacoma

 

[Bogunn]

Agreed with OR17TRD. Post a video to save somebody else the same trouble.
