I dont know anything about the TRD electric locker, and its compatibility... But i think that a better option for you to go with would be an ARB air locker... It is the choice of alot of people for a good reason, and there is an application for your truck. Just my 2c... That is what i will be getting in my truck...

I second the arb notion. You would need to swap in the complete axle housing from a 3rd gen. After it was all said and done, you probably would have spent more time and money than an arb setup would have set you back. Not to mention the headache. I also plan on having arb's front and rear in the future.

Im going with an ARB in the rear, and i havnt decided if i want to do limited slip up front, or just leave it open. I wouldnt lock the front on an IFS setup, too many weak points, i would think with it locked you would be breaking things all the time, mainly being CV's i would think

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.

Good articles anthony... Learned some stuff that i didnt know before.
Also, stated in the first article... The TRD Electric locker is stock 4.10 gears, and are able to get to a 4.56 ratio. So this would also be a factor in the decision between the TRD electric or the ARB air locker. This would not be ideal for me, since i want 4.88's.

You can get an e-locker geared to any Toy ratio 3.9 to 5.71, that is not a problem.
People keep saying locked fronts break stuff more. On the contrary, an open diff necessitates spinning and spinning breaks parts. |

As Flygtenstein said, it can be had with all the common ratios.
I had mine regeared to 5.29. It use the same gears as 8" V6 carrier.
