3gen elocker

Does anybody make a locker for 3gen? Can't find one and don't want air.

 

Harrop has Eaton e-lockers

 

Local junkyard. Get an oem one with the whole axle and required parts

 

What model Tacoma do you have. Harrop makes a front and rear e locker for the Tacoma. Front for any model but rear only for the smaller rear end. Sr, sr5, and Sport. I’m running them front and rear and they have worked flawless thus far.

 

sr5

 

Well they don’t need to make a rear e locker for the OR and Pro . Don’t know why they’d sell one.

 

If u have an MT non OR or Pro. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe some don’t have the e locker but have the larger rear end.

 

I could just pick and pull a OR rear axle and get the plugs/ harness etc...right?

 

Edit: nm, I misread.

 

Yes, the Off-road should swap right in. If you find one from an MT with 4.30 gears, grab the front diff too. While not 4.88, a nicer ratio, for sure.

Eaton has new Gen 4 Elockers hitting the market right now.

 

yep because junk yards are full of 3rd gens with rearend lockers.

in 10 years this is more viable.

 

What are peoples opinions on air lockers vs e lockers? looked at harrop and the a lockers are a pretty penny. Air seems it could be a little cheaper to get same effect with the added bonus of on board air.

 

Don’t forget the added cost of the compressor. At the time I too considered arb but they were having lots of issues with units leaking and customers having diff oil leak issues. Oil was feeding back through air lines causing a huge mess and diffs low on oil. Some had the same problem multiple times and diff pulled multiple times to fix. Really scared me away. I’ve heard they’ve since remedied the issue with a different seal.

 

wouldnt say full of of them; but they are out there. I assure you, there have been plenty of 3rd gens totaled in the last 5ish years since the 3rd gen release.

 

majority of the ones with value are rebuilt. they still have too much value to be parts cars.

 

yep. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t out there. All you need is one OR or Pro model with a destroyed front end, and you can have yourself an OEM rear locker.

 

MT OR and Pro have an E-Locker

 

correct. But the non e locker MT’s like the sport and sr5 still have the larger rear diff that Harrop I believe doesn’t currently offer an e locker option for.

 

No. The control side of that is complex. Unless u switched it yourself. I don't believe there is a plug and play OEM style swap. I believe 4wd relies heavily on BCM for switching and feedback
