    For what it maybe worth from a 2003 Toyota Tacoma brochure:

    TRD Off-Road Package—"...includes off-road-tuned suspension with Bilstein® 2 high-pressure gas shocks and progressive-rate springs, P265/70R16 BFGoodrich tires on 16” 5-spoke aluminum alloy wheels,3-locking rear differential,4-black fender flares3, 5 and TRD graphics"

    Also: #7-(TRD 4x4) "Not available on 4-cylinder automatic transmission models."

    Appears there maybe errors from the brochure?:confused:

    And yeah, the sticker was the first thing that caught my eye that gave me a red flag on it not being a true TRD. At least get the correct stickers for the year haha

    From the looks of it, it is not. The Trd logo part is black there, and mine which is real yes, is all white.

    The proper first gen stickers are linear with the "TRD Offroad". The second gens have the "Offroad" staggered below the TRD

    I guess I missed this the first time around but he's a dealer.
    All his positive comments are on vehicles. Oh well, still a pretty fair deal. Add an arb in the rear and your good to go.

    I stand corrected. Perhaps it was just the TRD's with 4 cyl and auto trans that didn't get the locker?
