Front Locker

Yea I get it ARB....ok no not interested...I have manual hubs and giant axles 930cvs...anyone know of a drop in spider gear replacement that fits? Will a standard 30 spline 8" spartan work?

 

So you want a lunch box locker? Does Eaton make a Detroit one that replaces the whole carrier?

 

Yea a guess a lunchbox type would work..but what one?

 

That's what you were describing is a lunchbox where it only replaces the spider gears. A "regular" mechanical locker like a Detroit would replace the whole carrier assembly.

I'll do some looking and see if I can't find anything but maybe one of the lockrites would work.

 

Thanks! Yea ideally a carrier replacement would be the stronger option...but a lunchbox would be economical

 

Maybe call ECGS and talk with those guys see if they know of any that would work. Or maybe ones for a Hilux or something like that from overseas

 

This just popped up in my feed. Lunchbox locker for the front from those crazy aussies looks like the same diff as ours in the front. @Basikbiker

A torsen is being put in mine as we speak from a 2013+ scion frs / brz

Just a little drilling is needed and works for 3.90+ gear ratios

 

Yea I saw that.....my gear guy is gunna call some manufacturers and see if he can find a carrier replacement style(Yukon or detroit)

 

Cool man! Let me know how it goes

 

Now what in the world made you come up with the idea of .... hey lets see if that fits! haha

 

Yeah I’d really love to know more about that. Torsen difs are the craziest things Iv ever seen.

 

Well there is an existing thread on it, and it was $160 bucks

 

You cant say stuff like this and not provide a link..... shame on you.

 

I knew I would get that response. Edit imminent

@ZUK is doing the work for me. He is a great gear installer etc

 

No 3.73?

(Edit) Didn't notice the post above..

I think its going to be badass. We compared at zuk’s shop the torsen and the trutrac from another vehicle. Functionally they are the same, but the torsen looks to be alot more beefy

 

Didn’t I read somewhere that a true-trac style diff won’t work in the front of our trucks because the diff/cv’s are always spinning when not engaged? Or that only one side is disconnected? Am I totally off base here? Because I’m pretty sure I asked about this once...

True-Trac/Torsen in front is exactly what I wanted. I’ll see if I can dig up the post.

Edit: this thread- obrlndkull describes the issue with an LSD up front: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/detroit-trutrac-install.580689/

 

Maybe I should clarify....MY TRUCK HAS MANUAL HUBS!..read my first post... I converted all the drivetrain to a beefier setup dana44......but i still have the 8" clam diff

 

I saw that, I was talking about user GT7. Unless he has the same, I’m interested to hear what he’s got going on. My apologies for the confusion.

Edit- I must be off today. He said something about AWD transfer case. Carry on. I’m apparently an invalid today.
