    Is this RWD or 4WD bearing? Saw a review for it on Amazon said it didn't fit 4WD. Whats the difference? Anyone know dimensions of 1st gen compared to 2nd gen Spicer center bearings?

    Does anyone know if these are for the RWD or 4WD? or do both the U joint kit and Carrier bearing listed here work for any model 05-15 both RWD and 4WD?

    2000 Tacoma SR5 V6 Extended Cab
    Homemade (heavy) front bumper, currently on new Wheeler 3inch springs (yielded ~2.5inches over stock springs with tacoma 5100s topped out) on Tundra 5100s, and an add-a-leaf in rear, new 5125 rear
    Just installed the Spicer listed above for the 1st gens. Installed on a 2000 4X4 SR5 V6 extended cab. Side by side they are an identical part. Has toyota on the rubber and another part number that from my research shows that it fits the Hilux of the same year. 75 from Amazon. Hopefully it will last longer than the last one from NAPA that made it maybe 20,000 miles and about 4 to 5 years ish. Rubber was shot and loosing grease. Original lasted 230k ish. I will try to remember to update as time goes on. Putting it to the test in the next few days with a 1,000 mile minimum road trip. I also added spacers to try to help with the angles. Ended up with 1/4inch plate to get the angles close.

    I believe you need three 1330's for the rear shaft and two 1310's for the front. You can choose if you want joints with zerks or not. Whichever way you go make sure you get joints with outside snap rings.
