    If you want to do it the easy way look up 12voltguy.com for a plug and play harness.
    Otherwise its a pretty straight forward swap.

    Just in case...

    If you're talking about the TRD locking diff, it won't fit with the standard non-locking axle. You'll need to swap the whole axle, with the locking diff in it.

    You have to swap the whole axle assembly.
