Will trd rear axle fit?

I know I'll probably get flamed, but my searching is sucking and I need info quick. I found a 2001 trd at the local junk yard with a killer price on the rear axle, can I swap it into my 98 4wd without major drive train mods? I know getting the locker to function takes work, but is this deal worth jumping on?

 

If its a good enough deal, go for it.


Its possible to make anything fit. Not sure how far off it'll be.

 

It's still a 1st gen axle so I don't see much difference. But that's just my opinion. Pretty sure someone with more info will chime in. Nice find see if you can find the truck it came off of and take the e-locker wiring, or as much as you can.

 

Same ratio as front axle, then there is the wireing issue to engage and dis engage it, might involve the computer also.

 

Where do I find the axle code?

 

Mine's b06a, the trd is b03a. Will it work?

 

Damn, thanks for all the help

 

Bring on the flaming, but ive been searching the threads and this is the closest one i could find without asking my similar question in a new thread...

Will 1st gen locking axles directly swap into a 96 5lug?

I know the hubs would be different in the front, but its 2wd and i dont care. I've been bouncing all around manufacturer sites, toyota dealers, and multiple other forums with no solid advice. Has anyone on this forum done a 5lug non locking to 6lug locking swap? if so... build thread link? Thanks

Glad I found this! I have axle cod B06A, which gives me hope that I could find a TRD locking axle at a junk yard to save some money. And then I wouldn't need to regear. I never knew any of this information till I read this. Super helpful, thanks Whipper
