lockright

im really confused on what to buy. on rocky road, they have the lockright 4 pin and 2 pin, what is the difference? could i buy ether one? i have the non e locker 8.4 rearend. i would like help on either directing me to the links or explain to me. thank you.

 

First, you probably have a Toyota 8", not 8.4. Also, Pretty sure its a 2 pinion.

EDIT: I'm wrong!

 

I believe the non e-lockers on 2nd gens are the 8.4" diff, but I can't help on the pinion atm

 

Yeh sorry looked that up after I posted.

I'm used to the 8" standard in the first gen!

I still say 2 pinion though.

 

I would suggest a Aussie or a Spartain over the Lockrite Both are simular just improved on design to the lockrite .

 

Call east coast gears, talk to Chase. They can answer all of your questions.

 

Save your money for a Detroit. Well worth it.

 

oh ok that sounds like a good idea then. plus to everyone as ive read around isnt the powertrax lockers pretty well known?

 

Yes they are well known but there are better options in that Price point . The Pros to this type of locker is they are cheap and pretty easy to install . The down side is the are a little noisey when going around corners . If this was a dedicated Wheeler i would say go for it they work great But for a DD i would suggest something better . I guess the best way to compaire them is to think of them like a Spacer lift VS a real coilover lift

 

yeah ive read alot on them being noisy, wont bother me with music and muffler loud as can be already. yeah im mostly a weekend wheeler but would like to have something reliable and go good with price for when in need.

 

I have the lock right and it's good cheap locker but I wish I saved up and bought a selectable locker

 

i would too but in the near future. but i would like to know if i could buy a 4 pin lockright for my 5 lug tacoma?

 

wait give me more info on those? could i just buy the ones for 8" carriers to fit mine, because they aint specfic with model and year. mines an 05 theres date back to 1999 something.

 

That my friend I have no clue about

 

Buy a 6 lug rear axle.

 

I am not 100% sure on the 2nd gen 5 lug but in the past the 5 lug has been a 7.5 rear not 8.0 . Give Marlin Crawler a call about the Spartin they can help you out there .

 

much appreciated from all who help. yeah right now im thinking maybe a aussie now, since its basiclly an improved lockright and cheaper. but does the 8" aussie's for the 4runner fit in mine because there are none that states its for the 05 tacomas.

 

If you have a 8inch then the xd-20830 should be what you need . Just email aussie and they will be able to help you .

 

yes sir, will do. ill let everyone know how it works, since im still saving up money to get my sas done and 4x4 conversion.
