Going from E-Locker Diff. to Open Diff.
I have a 2000 prerunner with the e-locker and want to go with an open locker for a limited slip. Do I need the whole axle and diff. assembly or just the diff.?

you can sell your elocker and get a open diff and intall the Limited slip. or you can just swap thirds IIRC.

and i have a question for you... why would that matter? an e-locker is an e-locker. they're all 8" toyota third members and are interchangable. the NON-TRD 2WD prerunners have a 8.4" third - basically the same as a tundra or sequoia. all TRD taco's have an 8" third with e-locker - either prerunner or 4WD - same as the 4runners.

if he's going to need more traction in a turn - like in auto-cross stuff - then he needs to sell the taco and get a subaru.
there is NO common situation that i can think of where a limited slip would be MORE beneficial than a e-locker, on-road or off...

This isn't a question of why or should I. The question was...
The simple answer is you need the whole axle to make the swap relatively easy. The complex answer is...if you modify the housing you can switch 3rd members.
I modified a non-e-locker housing to accept an e-locker, so I would assume you could do it the opposite way.

Kinda off topic, but, did the Tundra's come with e-lockers? My dad has a limited slip in his Tundra and it sucks. We got stuck twice in Baja last year and wished we had a locker back there.

Well, I have basically turned a prerunner into a more street-wise truck. I lowered the front and rear and was thinking about getting a diff. that would be more useful to me on city streets to take care of the slipping and traction problems that I am having now. So basically, I need something that will act right in sharp, fast turns. Just more streetable.

I know that a prerunner was not intended to be a street truck but I only have 45,000 miles on the truck and I have used the locker one time. So, I'm basically turning my truck into a project.
