    There's a caveat to that. Not all lockers are "TRD elockers"
    First of all, the locker was available before there was even such a thing as TRD. Second, the locker was available to be ordered without the TRD package, even after there was TRD.

    So the distinction is more clear to say almost all lockers had 4.10, but not all of them.

    Yes, an elock 4Runner axle would be 8.0

    As a matter of fact ALL 3rd Gen 4Runner rear axles are 8.0. Regardless of whether they were locked or not. There is no 8.4 3rd Gen 4Runner axle.


    And also... it is a pretty simple modification to get a non-elock T4R to accept a locker. It requires a little bit of clearancing of a couple areas with a grinder, and drilling and tapping 2 holes. There are a few vendors that sell a template for this. Low Range Off Road is one. (just a tid bit of random info)

    @Dan8906 Mine were Baja XRS, but Zane's right - they were not comfortable at all - like sitting on hard plastic. Might work for some, but not for me. Looked great though. Took some doing to get them installed well, too.

    Replacing My Seats with Corbeau Baja XRS…Or Not

    [​IMG]


    I've just recently moved on to something more comfortable but significantly more costly, also on Zane's recommendation. No write-up yet, but one's coming.

    I've got the Moabs. They're OK. I think I would've stepped up to the trailcats if I were to do it again.

    I wish there was a shop you could sit in all the seats and see what works best for you before you buy them.

    The old kazuma unit was installed with swapping gears. The other lsd from factory comes as a complete assembly with gears

    Mmm…the hate is strong. You guys are just jealous that you don’t have unshielded 12000K bulbs in non-projector housings.

    I don't like second hand light, stuff bounces off everything getting all dirty picking up tints and hues in the process, I generate my own clean photons behind my cornea.

    Hate is too strong and not worthy of this situation. But truth be told, I have a very strong dislike for anyone who, through their behavior and choices, disregards the welfare of others.

    I realize the OP has a problem. Toyota headlights for their trucks prior to the '98 model (some would say prior to the '05 model :notsure:) sucked donkey dicks. But aftermarket LED lights is not the answer.
