    I'm sure someone here can tell me what this fork-looking thing is attached to the differential case of my 2001 PreRunner Double Cab. Hopefully it's not real important because it doesn't seem to be doing anything and I couldn't find it on the diagrams on parts.toyota.com.
    Thanks!

    Looks like a bent bracket for the parking brake cable equalizer.

    Now that I know what to look for, that does indeed seem to be what it is. Thanks. I'll get under the truck tomorrow and see what's what.

    The good news is your 22-year old truck looks pretty rust free under there. :thumbsup:

    It's been in
    Yep, it's pretty dry and salt-free here in the Phoenix area, where the truck has been since 2005! Paint looks like crap though. :).
