Yeah, I'll do the research. Pretty sure I got the common/found everywhere gears.

 

Might be able to find a TRD off road locker and just throw your existing gears on it

 

At this point if I do that (sooner rather than later) I'll just have the dealership install the e-locker so it's warrantied and save up for the ARBs front and rear down the road.

 

It would be cheaper to buy the ARB than have the dealer install a Toyota locker. You'd probably be charged $4,000+

You can by pass all of that electrical bullshit and make it a mechanical actuated locker. I will see if I can find a link to it .


Edit . To give you a idea

 

Hey alex you should regear anyway if your paying to install an ARB. I heard the rear ring and pinions are shit in the new trucks. Probably install some nice cromo and cryo'ed gears in it just to be sure. Or at least that is what I would tell myself if it was me

 

Alex
These are all new parts . I'm guessing yours is a 8"

He would need to find a core. I bet I could trac down a smoked new gen 8" third but it would take some time.

 

Alex I would really look into getting a Front locker. Check the ratcheting ones like an Aussie. You wont notice it on the road due to the driveline disconnect. It works awesome offroad, it really doesn't effect your steering much you notice it pulls a little bit at slow speeds but if you engage it in snow or something you don't even notice it.

 

Ya I didn't think of that .

 

Damn I don't think you could even use a smoked diff because they want to put new gears in them and send them out

 

At the gym

 

I know a kid selling an 8" 4:10 for 100 clams

 

An Elocker 8"? or a regular one? As far as I know they need everything but the motor.

 

F!@#$% Smart A$$....That is when MY NAME was on the door...working for yourself has priviledge....raising young kids you will "FIND" creative ways to stay "Sane"..

Snow in Florida ??? WTF are you smoking....

 

Yessir, I believe you hit that nail square on the head!

 

I'll just get the FJ 3rd and regear both front and rear when the time comes, throwing a locker in the front at the same time.

I keep my truck in 4WD (more like AWD) during the winter, so I don't want to Aussie lock it or put a true trac. I'll throw an ARB up front. That way I can control it.

John, that cable operated locker is pretty cool!

 

Entered unchartered territory with my good ole craftsman beam torque wrench yesterday--lower mounting bolt for the S2 hoop tightens to 120 ft-lbs . Kept waiting for the thing to snap on me.

 

1/2" drive? What the max you can set it to?
