    I have an '04 Tacoma non-TRD and note how the rear end is configured. The bed had damaged repaired years back by a previous owner and I am not sure if the rear end may have been swapped as a result of the damage. Could someone post a photo front and back of the non-locking and locking rear ends?

    Thanks
