    I am sure this has been posted before, however I am trying to get a quick answer so I can get the ball rolling ASAP...

    I am looking to see what it will take to put a e-locker in my 97 Standard cab tacoma. I know i have read a few things here before about the wiring... and I think someone on here even makes a wiring harness for this... Anyone know about that????

    1... I have no tag on my diff's and not sure they are the original ones to the VIN#. How do I find out for sure what the gear ratio is? I am guessing I will have to pull the 3rd member out and count, but what number teeth pinion/ring = what ratio???

    2... Who, where and how do I hook up a harness to maintain OEM switch and work like factory? If the Locker harness separate from the main truck harness??? How and where does it hook up?


    I am torn between going for an e-locker or a Lock-Right. I am thinking the easiest route would be the Lock Right. Any advise???

    Q1.0 = go to this site http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/tech/electric_locker/
    Q1.5
    This can be checked by dividing the ring gear tooth count by the pinion tooth count (e.g., Ring gear tooth count – 35T, pinion gear tooth count – 10T. 35/10 or 3.50:1 ratio)

    Q2 go to that site http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/tech/electric_locker/
