I'm confused, Ed.  Tundra's don't use rear disks at all.

Anyway, as Karl mentioned, the FJ80 has a FF rear disk setup...

I'd think the Sequoia would have some sort of semi-float setup...

And have you looked in to how its done on the late model "Limited"
4runners?
I've heard that rear disks were an option for some of these and I also seem
to recall that someone on one of these lists a while back had one of these
axles under their rig...?

If I was you, I'd go to the dealer and have the parts guy print out the
parts breakdown pictures for each of the rear disk setups you want to see
and go from there...
