I have a 1988 4runner with a welded differential in the rear. I want to swap out the entire rear axle to an axle with an e-locker, then re-gear to match the front axle 5.29. What axle and from what toyota model/year works best for this?

 

Welcome to Yotatech.

Numerous threads on elocker swaps.

Try searching a bit.

You may want to consider converting your diff to an elocker setup. The elockers were available in 3rd gen 4runners. The axle is wider and has an entirely different suspension setup.

 

What year toyota elocker differential would work the best? I haven't found any threads for elocker swaps in 88' runners. There are plenty writeups for 90'+ runners, but i'm trying to get as much info on the 88' as I can. thanks.

 

Look here. Google may be evil, but it works pretty well.

Ask toyotech559 his build has a elock swap In a 1st gen

 

Don't mean to change the subject here, but does anyone know what other year model rear axles will work on my 1994 Toyota pickup 4x4? Like without having to rework any brake lines or anything. I just want it to bolt right up without any problems. I'm having a hard time finding one of my year model.
