Dif Lock

2WD 5 Lug 2005 tacoma and I would like to get a diff locker where and how would I do it

 

Buy an arb or Detroit and swap it in

 

Pull the third member and weld the spider gear

 

Find an axle from an offroad edition in a junk yard/part out and bolt it up to your truck.

 

As a 5 lug your only options are going to be aftermarket.

You might could get a 6 lug rear e-locker axle hub to hub and swap it in and wire up a inchworm switch/controller but you're extremely limited on easy straightforward approaches being a 5 lug.

@5 Lug Fury any experienced advice to add?

 

You can use a TRD sport 3rd member with the clutch LSD or with your 3rd a Detroit true Trac or an arb will fit as long as your an auto. If your a manual you can still do it but will need an auto 3rd from a 5 or 6 lug. I wouldn't bother with an elocker as you will need to swap the whole axle as the shafts are a different size.
