Best e-locker?

What is the best e-locker to use on the 95 3.4v6 single cab sx tacoma? Hearing good things about them and thinking of adding one on mine. Any links will help too.

 

Hey I have heard the same thing and am also wanting to know. I know a few guys said to do a TRD rear axle swap. They said its cheaper and it's factory. But idk so someone help us out!

 

IIRC, the non-TRD has a larger ring gear. If I didn't have a TRD I'd be tempted to go with an ARB and keep my housing/larger ring gear.

Not to highjack the thread, but have you considered a lunchbox locker for the front?

 

Can't say I have. But anything for extra traction at low cost.

 

Can't comment on a lunchbox for a Taco, but in a Wrangler it was the best $250 I ever spent.

 

There is only one e locker for our trucks and it came factory with trd offroads from 98-04 and on some rare 97-96s as an option.

The third member does not line up with the 8.4 housing which is what everyone else has that doesn't have the locker. If you want an e locker you need an entire axle to swap under the truck. I've seen them go for 200-500 bucks.

The arb locker fits in the 8.4 diff housing and is much more expense. Locker new is 1k about plus you need OBA or co2 to activate it 2-400 bucks.

Arbs are much stronger and they say the 8.4 is stronger too. But it won't be a huge issue unless your going to doing some crazy shit with the truck.

I'm going dual arbs as I like how fast air lockers engage as opposed to the e locker which can take up to 20 feet to full engage. But that usually isn't a big deal if you know when to use it.

 

I would recommend a complete axle swap. The hardest part is going to be finding a complete axle to swap in, at least in my neck of the woods.

 

I know this is an old thread. But I was wondering if I had a 03 Tacoma 4x4 without e locker could I put a 01 elocker in it from a 2x4 pre runner? They are the same gear ratio already checked that

 

You would need the whole axle to swap in.

 

Someone already mentioned it earlier but back when I had my '99, I put a Detroit lunchbox locker in it for a few hundred bucks and it was the best thing I ever did to that truck, much cheaper than a selective locker. Just had to endure the audible clicking sound it made whenever you took a turn during daily driving.
