2018 TRD Sport Locker

id like to but the only option within 60 miles of me are either over 6000 more, or a downgrade in every other area.

 

The SR5 isn't a bad 4x4 option, esp if you're looking to upgrade.

But

It's your truck. If you like it, don't get rid of it.

I recommend looking into an e locker by Harrop (mentioned earlier)

Buddy has them on his and they're rock solid, reasonably priced to. Any decent shop should be able to do the install.

 

This is the one

Thank you kind sir.

 

Wrong one. The 8.75 axle (BD22A/N) is only in trucks with an e locker or a manual. Sounds like he has a BD20. But only he can be sure.

Its an automatic, rwd TRD Sport 2018

 

if everything else has been done that you wanted, just keep the truck. even if you get a shop to install an arb locker you should still be under whatever you saved. im guessing around 2k when its all said and done. get yourself some good tires unless the trucks tires is already good. then youre gtg. a locked 2wd is still very capable in its own right.

 

Not sure how handy you are but you can buy premade third members with a locker if wanted and swap it yourself.

How do these work

 

From what I read all the TRD models have 8.75" rear end.

@shakerhood or @tonered know

 

Nope. See the applications guide I posted.

OE e-locker trucks (Pros and OR's) have the 8.75 along with trucks that came with the manual transmission. An auto Sport does not have the 8.75.

 

Thx, just trying to find the ARB locker for OP, looks like it's RD132 (and didnt see the post above)

 

Manual Transmission Sport gets the 8.75" as did the 2016-2017 SR Manual, outside of that only the OR and Pro have it.

 

So what size does a 2018 automatic sport have?

 

8"

 

Does it matter if it's 4 or 2wd?

 

Nope
