    2002 lifted 6 inches welded the rear differential and super axles on the front. 2003 is the one I am planing on putting the diese, 1995 just intake and turbo muffler.
    Planing on swap to a solid axle, thinking on using a land cruiser one, any comments on this, is the transfer case on the same Side of my 2002 4x4 sr5 3.4 v6 ?

    You definitely need to do more research instead of asking for answers. Or you'll end up with smart answers as "it's plug and play"

    If you drive a Tacoma and still wonder if 80 series drop is on the same side, you shouldn't be doing a SA in the first place.

    Sometimes it’s good to have a starting point for the “research.” Can’t knock the guy for wanting to learn. Provide him a few starting points and let him take it from there. Hell I clicked on this thread because I like to learn. Do I know the answer to his question, absolutely not. If there were some better information posted here for the OP to read I might have learned something also.

    You have a lot of research to do. Like, so much.

    To start- How about doing a google search of one of those axles and finding out for yourself which side the diff is on.

    I'll never knock someone for wanting to learn, but sometimes you can tell by the question that they're asking that they haven't made the least amount of effort to find something on their own. Nobody wants to get on here and spoon feed answers, so that's where the sarcastic remarks come from.

    I am sure it had something to do with the Diesel Swap question as well.

    Maybe doing these things long before the internet I look at things different from not being able to ask .

    Utilized the search option. There's plenty of information here, Google, and elsewhere if you take the time to search.

    It's always interesting to see a P-drop axle on a D-drop truck.

    If the LC axle diff is on the wrong side just flip it over. That will be the hardest part of the swap

    If you manage to pull the swap off, please don't drive it to Massachusetts. This state has a hard enough time dealing with the Coronavirus, we dont need to deal with your truck on the roads.
