    I don't........ I got mine from the junk yard.

    Since you've got an ext cab, you just need to find the front half of the rear d shaft out of an ext cab or double cab tacoma (single cab will not work). I got mine off a tacoma with a manual transmission and a 4 cyl engine so I'm 99% sure the engine/tranny type doesn't matter, just the cab... :) hope that helps
