As I'm dismantling my other '89 4runner (not my good '89 4runner <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />) I'm wondering if the front axle/differential assemblies are interchangeable across the years '86 - '95 and between 4 cyl and 6 cyl applications. I know there were some with auto-disconnect differential. Are there any other differences?

I'd like to rebuild the front axle assembly from my 4cyl '89 4runner parts truck and install 4.88 gears in it for my '93 V6 pickup. -- Matt
