    Has anyone found a drop in locker that will fit a 1st gen? I've put them in jeeps and they work well for what I use my truck for.

    It seems like they are available from spartan for the front only.

    Thanks for the list, I had an aussie and it was good. I guess I'm mostly looking for a rear. But I'm unsure why they mention its 2wd only.

    My crawler has an arb and a Detroit. But the Tacoma isnt the main transportation in the rocks.

    It's more of a support vehicle to bring in beer, firewood and drunk people.

    Budget parts are fine as long as they work, aussie locker works very well for what it is.
