very interested. I have a 1st gen. hilux that tries to brake my back and a rover getting up on miles and was thinking of doing the same thing. Always loved toyota. do 4th gn.runners have a locking rear dif.?

good luck and I can't wait to see the rest of the pics.

The Trail Edition (V6 only I believe) is the only 4th Gen that comes with a locking rear diff. that I am aware of. http://www.toyota.com/4runner/trail-edition.html
