TRD or Locker rear
Looking in to lock the rear of my taco. Ithought about the trd rear but i heard it was expensive. The locker from power trax is about 300. Is their a great deal to swap the rear axles on the taco. this i mean are the u joints the same and widthe the same on the spring pearch? i really need to know this info before i make a decision, and what kinda price am i lookn at for a trd rear axle setup??

it would probably be easier and more practical to just have an ARB put in. now, if you had a mini, you could do the mod to run the E-locker. however, the non-trd tacoma runs an "8.4" rear, which is really an 8" but it has a different third-to-axle mounting pattern and a caged bearing cap design that's much stronger than a typical 8" setup

well casper , wy is just a little far for me to drive. and if it is gonna be 750 for the whole axle then ill just lock the rear. And yes i did wanna swap the whole rear.

the good thing about the TRD rear is that it's a selectable locker whereas the power trax is not...you could find a TRD axle for anywhere from $500 to $100+...the swap is straight forward....Taco TRD axles come with 4.10 gears so you might have to regear....
