Starting over with a new GMC AT4 Satin Steel Metallic Softopper, Bilstein 5100's @ 1.75 in the front, TSB Rear, 17x8.5 Lvl 8 Guardians, 265/70-17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W, Scooped, Anytime fog mod, Osram Nightbreakers, LED Interior lights, Debadged, Painted valance, Removed rear head rests, De-flapped, Hidden Hitch installed, Weather Techs, Flyzeye'd A/W/A, Cover Kings.

I think the only way to tell is to look and see if there is a sticker on the diff calling for LSD fluid. Other than field testing of course .. You can see the sticker here from Chris4x4's diff thread..

The correct term is standard differential vs limited slip

You have a "open diff"

My SR5 08 has a limited slip.

I guess I lucked out. I researched Tacomas for almost a year before I purchased but I'm still learning.
