trd taco rear end?
i'm getting interested in getting a e-locker for my truck eventually. however, i'd also like a wider axle. i've heard that the tacoma with an e-locker has an 8" diff...i've found a few on car-part.com(more than i've found 4runner axles, and generally cheaper). i think they used 3.58 gears? is the the same old 8" diff as the 3rd gen 4runner with the locker?

hmm...sounds interesting. that's why i was thinking about the taco housing, since it's already set up for leafs(not sure if the perches are spaced right though)
redoing the stud holes and modifications to a housing aren't out of my reach, and i'm second in line at an '85 front and '90 rear, both rebuilt for 250$. if i get it i'll just sell the front and keep the rear for my truck, and make back what i paid for it

tacomas with elocker have the 8" diff. (same as the 4Runner, early Toy V6 diff)
tacomas without the e-locker have the 8.4" diff. an ARB RD89 air locker is avail for that diff.
just for clarification.

The Tacoma housing will bolt up to your springs just fine, with a few minor issues. Be sure to get the e-brake cable, u-bolts & plates, etc. from the Tacoma axle, yours won't work. Also, the bracket for the LSPV is on the opposite side, you will need to weld on a new one to hook up to your valve. The e-brake cable will also need to be reversed but it is a fairly simple task as well.
