E locker 3rd member help

Hey TW, I have a TRD Sport 2wd and want to add a rear e locker to help when I'm out in the desert and other sticky situations.

What exactly do I all need to get this started?

So far I have pin pointed this but not sure what electrical I'll need as well.

I believe the housings are different elock vs non-elock.

 

If you want an electric locker, your choice is either (i) replace the entire rear end with a rear end from a TRD Off Road, or (ii) install a Harrop Elocker in the existing differential. East Coast Gear has the Harrop or check out http://gearinstalls.com.

With either one, you'll need to supply 12v to the diffential.

 

I wouldn’t want any Differential that is essentially open while not locked.
As is the Locker in the O/R, you’ll be worse off than what you have now.
Auto-LSD wasn’t introduced until 09’


I’d rather go with a “lunchbox” style locker.

FWIW, I do have the Open Diff Non-AutoLSD.
Traction is less than the Sport models, until I’m locked.
