    There's been some discussion to it. Most of us have come to the conclusion that it's cheaper/easier just to buy an aftermarket locker (like the ARB air locker).

    I think is do able for about a grand but it isn't gonna be Toyota OEM wiring and switches.

    You should be able to find a complete rear end for less the a grand and then pick up the wiring form 12 volt guy for less than $150.

    But if you want factory install that will cost ya.
