Yes, but if you are looking for used ones, I believe the 4.56 ratio only came on certain 4Runner models and not Tacoma's, lowest ratio found on the Tacomas seems to be 4.30 (same 8" diff though)

I purchased a 4.56 one brand new from the dealer and retrofitted it to an 85 pickup, so they definitely exist.

Here is the Toyota part #

Here's a used one I found you: (from car-part.com)

For the same price as a re-gear, or some other type of locker, you get the best of both worlds!

FWIW, I lurk car-part.com for "cost friendly" upgrades.

On my truck, which had 4cyl 4.10's, I upgraded to 2 6cyl diffs with 4.88's, entire diffs, plug-n-play for $150 each.

I then bought a diff from an 88 Supra for $75. Disassembled that to put the LSD Posi in the rear diff. The cheezy LockRite locker for the front diff was the most expensive part, for $189, (at that time, cost more now I guess).

The only reason why I converted to cross-over steering was because I bought a used IFS steering box for $20.

Never know what you'll find over there.

Damn I'd so rather just get a complete rear assembly that I could swap out. After having electric lockers on the FJ80 there is no substitute. I'll just have to wait a couple months and the do it as a summer project.

Someday.... I'll have one. Prices for these are getting comparable to used 4Runners and Pickups. Resale on any type Toyota truck or SUV here in Arizona is great for the seller, hard on the buyer. Total reversal of the housing market.
