    if it doesnt have the rear locker then someone DID just slap a sticker on it. the locker is what makes an "off road model" an off road model...without that its just an SR5 package.

    also, when I bought my truck used from a dealer here it had the TRD off road sticker on it. At the time I had no idea what made it that, so I bought it thinking it was the TRD model...turns out it wasnt.

    Maybe its just me and my ignorance on the first generation Tacoma but does the TRD sticker look like its not in the right place?
    I am thinking that the Tacomas that I have seen had the TRD sticker a little bit higher on the rear fender. Could just be me though.

    I'm going out on a limb to say those are most likely Tokico shocks. I had a 04 TRD with Blue Tokico shocks. I dont think they started with the Bilsteins until 05.

    Correct. The First gen double cab trucks had Tokiko as the upgraded shock.
