94 Truck E-locker install in progress
Got the rear out, and ready to cut for the 3rd member.
Installed diff lock light in dash and using factory switch.
Should get the rear cut out tomorrow and the 3rd installed hopefully by tomorrow night.

I took the rear end, the switch, and the black plastic diff lock light from a 98 4runner.
I cut out an un-used spot on my dash and put the diff lock plastic behind it. I will be wiring the light behind it to the diff lock when I am done.

Yeah, I know its a half-ass way of converting the axle for an e-locker, but it's the best I could do with these crappy tools.
I should have it back together later tonight......

There were numerous comments about the axle length being shorter and breaking my e-locker once installed into the 94 rear end.
The e-locker came from a 1998 4runner and the overall axle length is 2" wider than my 94 truck axle
I pulled both thirds and re-installed the axles to measure where Toyota thought they should be in the diff's. I think this confirms on my truck at least that the axle length is identical on both axles internally.
1994 Pickup with factory axles 1.509 inches between axles
1998 4runner with factory axles 1.509 inches between axles
1998 4 runner pinon side shaft 3.499 inches from locker side opening
1994 pickup pinion side shaft 3.499 inches from locker side opening

How much did you pay for the locker? Also what ratio did you get? I would love to do this but I have 4:56's (I love) and I think you can only get 4:10 and 3:XX.
