1996 tacoma 4x4 locker

[fbksurferjoe]

I am looking into getting locking differentials for my tacoma. Unfortunately i dont even know where to begin to look for one. Do i need a front and a rear locker? If anyone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, yeah looks like that thread will help. Didnt realize that the e-locker that i was thinking of doing would be as expensive as it is.

A good driver can go almost everywhere without lockers IMO. When it gets very tough, I have found that having the rear locker is priceless. I have never needed a front locker, but I usually back off before carnage ;)

Your best bet would be an ARB in the rear, or a junkyard swap for an e-locker axle. Be prepared to add some wiring for this although Toyota usually makes one wiring harness with provisions for all options so you should be plug and play, just make sure if you get an axle or third member from a salvage yard that you get the harness and dash switch as well.
