    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Should be the exact same if your truck has 6 lugs. Have you looked up the process for changing lower control arm bushings on a first gen. It's a complete pain compared to most cars cause only one company (White line) sells bushings that are ready to press in, most want you to burn out your old ones and press their bushings into the old sleeve.

    Seems to be a lot of people right now having to mess around with their LCA bushings.
