Ok so its not technically bling but it's even better! v6 elocker with 4.88's. I'll have a write up on the install as soon as I get home from school and get a weekend to do it, probably around mid April. But here's the teaser shots:







Thanks Mike! (MSR)

All right, I'll bite: what truck did you pull that out of????

 

I actually bought it from a member on here, MSR, who had a thread up a little bit ago. Idk what year it came off of, but the gears are brand new US gears.

 

Nice! How much? I'd love to get get my hands on a e-locker with 4.88's!

 

Keep your eyes open on the boards and you can find good deals

He had some extra e locker thirds layin around so I got it for a good deal, $550.

 

sweet!


shoot me for a "newB" question, but what specifically did they come in? or were they just an option the person buying it would purchase when they bought the truck new

 

'96 and up 4runners and TRD Tacomas.

EDIT: years
