    I picked up this 2nd gen tacoma 8" axle for $125. What's the chance a 2nd gen 8" 3rd member will bolt onto a 3rd gen 8" housing?

    That's the 8" E-locker 29 spline? Might be the same if your original 3rd gen diff was the e-locker. Don't know if they changed the e-locking diff between generations. The open diff that came on other 2nd gen Tacomas is 8.4", which is a little stronger/more common.

    No e locker. So I guess it's an 8.4?

    3rd gen e-lockers are 8.75 I believe, everything else was the 8.4. It might fit if you're a non-OR/pro, but probably not?

    I’ve thought about making something… I ripped my carrier mount off also. If there’s enough interest I’ll put something together
