Ez locker install

Found a nib EZ locker for the IFS front on my 93. Wondering if it's worth the time to drop the diff out or have many ppl had success just popping the axles out? Thanks

Well, on the front diff, I've never really thought about doing something like this with the housing still in the truck, but I supposed you could if you had to. The thing is though, once you remove the cross-member holding the front of the diff up so you can get the cover off, you are really only the driveshaft and 2 bolts from dropping the whole diff.

YAh, I wouldn't try to do it on the truck. That's the easy part of the locker install

I figured it would be a hassle and a good opportunity to swap out the ADD tube. Appreciate it guys

if you ditch the ADD tube you need manual hubs. I say install it and let everyone know how it went and the good bad and ugly.

I've had manual hubs. Got the diff from a 4.88 4Runner and did the old hose clamp trick on the collar fork lol. Learned that trick on here!
