    I am looking to get an ARB Air Locker installed on my 05 2wd Pre-Runner somewhere in southern california. Anyone have any recommendations?

    I would love to install this myself, but I don't really want to teach myself on my truck and I don't really have the tools for the job.

    if you can remove the diffs or get a shop to remove em East coast gear supply will re-gear or lock to your specs, and they do price match.

    i did my senior project there and chase is a very nice person to work with and he knows his stuff

    Are there any write-ups or videos on how to remove these items that ECGS sends you? I might go this route.
