Topic: 4Runner vs. Tacoma t-case

[cougarfreak]

I was just informed that the 3rd gen 4Runner and Tacoma t-cases are different...  given the same engine and same tranny, different t-case???    .  True or false?

[cougarfreak [OP]]

It has been confirmed by Ballistic Fabrication, and the impression of many other that the Tacoma and 4Runner of the same drivetrain do in fact have the same t-case.   Pinion e-brake...  here I come!!!!   :beerchug:I'll post how I route the cable and any mods I do when I complete it.

or maybe I'll just fiddle with the caddy brakes I already have...

Yes, all 1996-2004 Tacoma and 4Runner Transfercases are the same, as far as function and internals go.

As for a comparison with the older 1988-95 V6 t/case, a while back, Marlin spoke to the person who redesigned the VF t/case and learned that the chain was widened and also features an increased number of links.

Please read this thread for more info: What does Marlin really think about taco tcase
