toyota e-lockers into 1st gen runner?

Hi all!

I've been searching all morning thru "e-locker" threads, but haven't found any info on this.

Can you swap an axle, complete or select pieces, from some 3rd gen type Toy with factory elocker, into a 1st gen (88 specifically) 4runner?

I'm wondering if I could shop for something like a wrecked '99 4runner or similar and could i swap the whole rear axle and get a rear elocker set up relatively easy? What gearing would it come with?

What y'all think?

i am surprised that you have not found it...it has has been covered multiple times. . a lot of people say to convert your housing..make a notch or something..lots of pictures

I and found a post with these links:

I know there are some threads on YT that show this same stuff, these were the quickest ones I found...Pirate4x4, (you might know) is not exactly free of bad language so please take that into account..

hope it helps...
