Swapping axles

i have a trd or and have a bent axle housing. I’ve been looking at new housings but $900 is a lot to swallow. I’ve found a few trd sport axles for pretty good deals and am wondering if it’s possible to put my e locker in the sport axle housing?

 

Short answer is no

 

Not unless you swap the 3rd member as well

 

I’ve found one with a 3rd member. It’s the full assembly. I can put my locker in if I have the sport 3rd member?

 

No. If you go to a sport axle or sport third member you lose the locker for good

 

Keep looking.

 

So I have an entire trd off-road axle third member and everything but my axle housing is bent. If I buy an entire Trd sport axle assembly I can’t just mount the sport housing up to my off road third member and keep my locker? If it won’t work I may still buy the sport axle and just not have a locker anymore. All the off road axles I’ve found are double if not more than double the price I’ve found the trd sport axles for.

 

Yeah, that's because the OR has a locker - So the rear axle costs more. Short answer: No, buy an OR axle.

 

No it will not work...

If you were to ditch the locker you MUST buy the sport 3rd member then

 

The housing is different between the sport and offroad

 

Ok that was my under standing just wanted to double check. Thanks for the replies

 

Just out of curiosity, how did it get bent?

 

I’m not sure. It has a rebuilt title but the way the axle is bent isn’t really consistent with what happened in the wreck. Passenger side is bent up and forward a bit

 

OP , 4x4 ?

Yes it’s a 4x4. Thanks but I’m looking for a housing not the shafts

 

Maybe check regional forum here, check junk yards, call some too, if you can't find on online. There are plenty of wrecked Tacomas
