    I know that the 2wd tacomas and the 4wds have lots of differences. My truck is a regular 2wd and when I look at the 2wd tacos I notice lots of differences other that 2 wheel and 4wheel drive. Can someone name the major differences? I have a rear arb locker and a 2.5 inch lift on my truck, i'm starting to go offroad pretty often and starting to enjoy it real time. I'm wondering if its dangerous for my suspension even if i don't have a 4x4.
    Thanks.taco.jpg

    Is your truck a 5 lug or a 6 lug prerunner? If its a prerunner the suspension is no different then a 4x4
