    I used a Homelink/Temperature/Compass/Autodim mirror from a 2012 Nissan Titan. I wanted the garage opener and it was hard to find in this configuration. I think the 3rd gens have this mirror as an option.

    huh. Well i'll be.

    Except the front is not a pretaco diff...

    Pretacoma fronts are on the left/passenger side. That is on the right/driver side. It is a manual hub ADD tube though. Also pretacoma front diffs CVs bolt on, they don't just smack in and out with a small snap ring on the end of the CV(kinda wish they still bolted on).

    the rear however you are right..is not an 8.4'' diff and looks like a an early model one. However, it could be a V6/turbo diff. Which 4runners used. Good catch!

    Kinda odd...

    I like the fact that I can rotate my steering wheel between 11oclock and 1oclock and nothing happens.

    Makes me feel like I'm driving a 70s Cadillac.

    3rd Gen I believe.

    It's also the same as an elocker. Well the elocker is based off that diff.

    How much does a bare ARB bumper weigh? Do I need to hit the gym and work on my ass muscles?

    What's weird is that the 4Runner front diff I got is the same as a taco front diff with the same mounting cushions - not the ones in the pic.
