It can be done. You CAN NOT swap the housing from the 3rd gen. Nothing lined up with the 2nd gen axle. You can mod the housing to fit the elec. locker. I got one in the rear axle.
check out this link http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/tech/electric_locker/
and this http://67.122.16.97/carter/4runner/mods/locker/
The guy that did the second one is Mike Carter. He helped me with mine.
Your axle should be the same as mine. There's no need to grind the bowl part of the axle. It's deep enough. The hard part is to fill in the beed and drill the hole and thread it so it's straight. Give yourself a weekend to complete it.
Good luck.
You're welcome to send me email to ask me questions.
