The second time I called, the guy said that it depends because toyota had different axle's during the 99-00 years, and he would have to look at the truck to determine if the locker would fit.
Is it possible that there is no selectable locker available for my truck (besides e-locker swap)? Or could it be that they don't know what they are talking about?

I believe the 4WP guy was refering to the 8" and 8.4" rear axles, but that is Taco stuff.
It is about the same money to retrofit an e-locker and install an ARb w/ comressor. about...

My net expense for the E-locker install was $75 after I parted out my old axle. You can certainly do the E-locker swap cheaper than an ARB if you have the skills to do it yourself and ability to sell your original.

....maybe I have 4.30's in my limited. This is interesting, I never knew these combinations were available

If it's a 4.30, just get the front diff and swap it also-if the front diff is gone then I have a 4.30 front diff I can sell you. I did this exact swap on mine. I found a 4Runner with 4.30 gears and an e-locker and bought the rearx axle and front diff and just swapped both over.
brett, what about this from J.A. 4Runner History???

Sporting a 4.3:1 differential gear ratio, this feature locks the rear wheels together while in low-4WD, forcing both wheels to turn together.

so, has anybody ever SEEN WITH THEIR OWN EYES a factory equipped 4.10 e-locking differential?

I don't know? When I was looking at them, I remember researching that there were both and the 4.30 gears came only in Limited Automatics with 16" wheels, any other e-locker had 4.10's. That's what I read anyway.

Actually my 4:30 elocker came from a 99 limited. Check axle code. A03A will have 4:30's and A02A will have 4:10's on the >96 4runner. The wiring is very easy. Made a little black box with the two relays in it and a factory switch. Works great in high and low range 2wd or 4wd. I modified my housing, but the axle should bolt right on.

You can order elocking thirds from toyota with 4.10, 4.30, and 4.56 in them. I guess they were all used over the years, else toyota wouldn't have them available as parts.
