A locker is defineately in the near future. i read that you CAN put a locker into the factory 488s although some say you cant.


this is what http://home.4x4wire.com/erik/diffs/#hipinion says

-Housing offsets pinion towards ring gear, allowing ring gear to be thinner
- OEM Toyota gears are the ONLY gears that fit this diff due to the thinner ring gear. All other gear sets have thicker ring gears and do not fit.
- The carrier (case) is the same as the V6 diffs, so normal V6 lockers, LSD's, etc. will work in this diff

 

can someone varify this before i order? the salvage place closes in 11 mins!!! lol

I CAN put a locker in the toyota 488s right???

 

yup you sure can..and id go for factorys...i hear the gears are way stronger

 

okay awesome!, i put a deposit down on em so there mine!!!

Thank you for the help

 

good deal...they offer a Aussie rear locker for your year for around $250. I have a Aussie in my front and its been great. Or you could go lockright...I had one of those in the rear of my 86 and loved it. youll be amazed where you can go in 2wd with a locker

 

an Aussie for the v6 factory 488?? i thought they only made one for the 4cyl for now?

so this one will work in the front?
and what about the rear, i dont see one for it?

 

Wow, that's alot of questions lol.

Aussie doesn't make one for the V6 rear. LockRight does.

 

yeah, thats what i thought. so that front one will work?

what you mean too many questions? was that alot of questions?
huh? huh? huh? huh? lol

 

yea i was thinking about the 4 cyl diff you were talking about...sorry.. it seem like aussies been making a V6 rear locker for 6 years now...wish they would hurry so i could get one..

and yea the front one will work..

 

okay im debating if i wanna get the aussie for the front now and get the front and rear done while the thirds are off. i mean, whats another 250? lol

On the other hand, il just remind my mom that my birthday is in exactly 1 month.... haha
