You'll need a 2001+ airbag. If you can't find one that is single stage, you can swap the detonator from your 2000 airbag.

Sometimes you can swap pre 01 dentonator, not always Thomas. The detonators on the 01+ are square shaped. The pre 01 dentonators came in square shape and 6 sided. When i swapped my wood wheel in my 99, the detonator on the 01+ airbag was dual stage. My original detonator was 6 sided so i couldn't mount it to the new airbag. I ended up buying an rav 4 airbag for cheap and using the detonator off of that since the rav 4 and is300 bags have the square single stage detonators.
