Do all 2nd gen use the same Rear Diff housing ?

Hi, I'm New to this Forum.

I've looked around and have gotten very helpful info.
Want to know if someone can throw me a lifeline

I Have a 08 single cab Tacoma 2WD 2 TR engine.
I have a leak on my rear DIFF and want to know if I can take the rear Diff Housing from 2ndGen with a bigger engine and replace my rear diff housing.

I have a similar issue that this guy encountered.
take a look for reference:
https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/looking-for-a-new-rear-differential.681762/

May I mention I live in Costa Rica Toyotas here are huge, Hilux,Land Cruisers are everywhere TACOMAS not so much, and finding parts is not that hard but Not a lot of people have knowledge over here working on Tacoma Trucks .... so I wanna ask the real Connaisseurs.
I was able to find a Rear diff housing that was on a 2nd gen 4.0L. Mine is 2.7 L.
I'm not gonna change anything from my diff gonna keep the same ratio and gears just planning on replacing the housing.
I wanna buy the part so I can just have my guy take it down put the rear diff in the new housing and mount it back on.

It has the same REar Diff 8-inch case.

My question is will the housing work?

Are the measurements horizontally from the left rear drum to the other right drum the same?

What other factors do I need to take into consideration before purchasing?

Any insight would be of great Help!!

 

No, some are 8" and others are 8.4. Width is the same, center section is not.

 

The 6 lug locker and non locker housings I believe are different, I'm not sure if the 5 lug and 6 lug non locker axle housings are different or not.

 

Is the truck a pre-runner (6 lug, 2wd) or a 5 lug?

Everything matters.

 

Would a 2008 X-runner complete rear fit a 2013 4x4 Sport?

 

The X-Runner will have a 5 bolt wheel pattern and your 4x4 is a 6 bolt.

 

The Replacement part is a 6 Lug and yes it was a 4x4 Tacoma 4.0L engine, My truck is a 4x2 5 lug.

think the housing will work ?

 

My truck is a 5 bolt wheel pattern the replacement housing is a 6 bolt

 

5 lug

 

I'm going to guess and say NO but i am not sure about the specs. on the 2wd housings.
