Lockers and posi for 2wd

I just got a headache reading through this crap! haha

 

you can also scroll all the way to the bottom of this page and see "similar threads" and some of your answers are probably already answered.

 

yeah i went out to the truck.. nothing posted on the axle.. i looked in the manual under differential and i see 2.65 rear dif lock system..

 

and 2.55 w/o diff lock system?

 

All 2wd and 4wd T100's, '00-06 Tundra's, and ?? Sequoia's use a newer/stronger 8" 2-pinion diff. Tacoma 4x4's and Tacoma PreRunner's that don't come with the electric locker (aka "non-TRD), as well as V6 Tacoma 4x2's also came with this diff.
This diff commonly and mistakenly called an 8.4" or 8.25" diff, possibly to imply its extra strength. The ring gear actually measures 8". The extra strength of this diff comes from the bearing cap/truss and large diameter pinion gear shaft.

what i get from that means i actually have an 8" axle. now on the site im looking at. it doesnt show how many splines it is capable with. does it matter? i have found 3 options on this site http://www.rocky-road.com/lockright.html any answers?

 

Just use the first part of this

 

If you can find a TRD Off Road donor truck of your generation. You can pull the selectable locker rear axle off of it an bolt it straight on to yours. I'm sure if your patient you could find an axle for less than $1000 no problem. I don't really know the price range though.

i have always read on TW that this is not an option but it makes sense that it would work. i am also looking to get both rear wheels spinning when the time calls... and not break the bank.

 

lol if you read this whole long crazy thread a locker is the route to go..
