Toyota rear in a Mazda
Hi all, I have an '87 Mazda b2000 that I want to swap a Toyota rear axle into.
I need it to be 58" wide so I think that would be pre '96 and I want to have a 4.56 ratio to run 235/75-15 tires. Since it is 2wd I would also at some point like to put one of the ARB air lockers in it. It seems, from the research I have done, that the only differential available with that gearing in a 58" wide axle is a '95 prerunner with a 10 bolt ring gear which is not compatible with an ARB locker. I'm asking for suggestions as to how to set up a 58" wide, 6 lug axle with 4.56 gearing and an on-demand locker.
Thanks for any help

Subscribed because I have toyotas and ford courier (mazda). Can't help with lockers but for your reference, all my 86-88 toyota rears, stock, are 58", 4.10, and pushed 225's or 235's. Exception was the stock auto, 4.3 gearing.

I have a stock 3.9 and we go forward but with such a small engine it's just too tall. The 4.3 would be better but I think even slower still would be better yet. I probably won't find one that narrow that will accept the arb

86-95 toyotas (1st/2nd gen 4runners, 2nd/3rd gen pickups) rear end measures 58.5 some came stock with 4.56 gears and you can buy arb lockers or e-lockers to fit in these housings.
