Exactly. Ford 9, or dana 44. Amazing how them Japanese Manufacturers can make a pretty sturdy truck. Or did they swap axels?

I've actually been pretty impressed with those Tacomas.

oh i've taken a tacoma down..... it was a loaner truck to a friend.. he got drunk, wanted to go offroading, and wanted me to drive.... smoked the clutch and the locker, and we had some clickies up front.. i'm guessing it had to do with an axle shaft... under the assumtion that it was his, and didn't care about it, i later found out it was a loaner... on which someone else already put a downpayment on to buy....

the crazy thing is the stock tacoma with IFS help up completley where an XJ with 4 inch lift and 31's and a locked TJ with 7 inch lift and 33's both broke.

Simple and small seams like it never breaks.
