My e-locker diff for your open diff

UPDATE: I have done more research and I have changed my mind that I would ONLY like to trade for a 05-08 8.4" with a LSD. Sorry to those that have offered their open diff.


As the title says i'm looking to trade my whole elocker diff for and open 8" diff. I would like a straight trade, so thats a bonus for who ever wants a locker! Im located in colorado springs, CO. We can swap the diffs at my place, so uf you are interested in this great deal reply, pm or call me at 858 fourfour4six3sixfive.

P.S. my truck has less than 75k and i wouldlike yours to be around the same, but i will entertain any offers.

Edit: im looking for the whole axle

Edit2: I have stated that theirs an open 8" diff in our truck, that is NOT correct only the locker is an 8" the rest are 8.4". Sorry for the confusion.

 

Holy hell why the **** don't I live in COLORADO!!!!!

 

Damn i would so do this


Not interested in a lsd? Do you have to swap the whole axle?

 

yeah i dont think an open diff will fit into the elocker axle housing. they dont have the same bolt pattern

 

I also may be in san diego in the end of june, are you close to there?

 

I may know someone, ill get in touch with him and pm you if he is interested. dibs i guess

 

Yes I am. But like some have said, the whole rear axle needs to be swapped. Are you still interested in doing that? Also, I'd need the module and wiring/switch associated with engaging the locker. I have an open SR5 non LSD rear.

Just realized we have different gear ratios too, so maybe more of a project than I'm willing to do. I'd have to swap the gears on my front axle.

 

Yes im talking the whole rear axle. Thats an 8" diff you have correct?

 

I have 3.73. U have?

 

Yes sir. 8" open diff with stock gears. 3.73. 80k miles.

I thought the e-locker had 4.10's? Maybe I'm wrong.

 

My 4Runner has the same pieces I believe, up in Denver and interested! I have 135K on mine but take good care of her.

 

Yes same axle, but different suspension setup.

 

not on the 2nd gen with a v6

 

Sweet thanks for the info.

OK so we have the same setup, should be a straight axle swap then, right? And run the wiring to the module and the switch? I'm down for this.

 

Sports with manual and tow package have 4.10. Autos with tow have 3.73

 

no

all v6's have 3.73

 

4:10s in the manual and 3:73 in automatic trucks V6 trucks. But, make damn sure before you swap axles. Swapping the wiring will be near impossible unless your truck is prewired and you just need the switch and the extension harness, but i doubt this. Inchworm gear sells a wiring harness with switches to activate factory Toyota E-Lockers.

Your 4runner has a Linked rear with disk brakes, Tacoma has a leaf sprung rear with drum brakes, You would have to swap just the thirds which would require you to notch your housing and drill and tap two additional holes. the OP wants to swap whole axle anyways.

 

Or you can order a elocker harness retro fit kit thingy from marlincrawler.com ......



Open rear will make a stronger (aftermarket) locked differential then a elocker differential..why I'm interested.

 

Axle straight swap. Factory wire would be very involved, but we can run wire and the switch, then you could engage it at any point. Im looking up at how exactly it is all wired.

 

wrong, i have a manual. i have the 3.73. only the 4bangers have 4.10
