4th gen rear factory locker question
Do you think the new Taco's rr electric locker would swap into the 4Runner or would you have to do total rear end swap? I guess there is no way to know until you take a real close look...

you'd prob be able to swap axles but then again you'll run into problems in the suspension area.
Also, keep in mind that the taco will have different gear ratio (v6 - 6spd i think) thus you'll have to swap it out.

neither trac or vsc should get all mumbled up due to the rear locker in place. the reason behind is because once the rear locker is locked, the computer won't know if the rear tires are slipping and only detect slippage on the front. Therefore, the computer will only compensate the front.
As for the 6spd tranny on a v8. The only problem is finding a computer that will control the tranny since it's auto. YOu'll need an ecu that works on the v8 as well as the 6spd. The reason why tundra owners can swap the 5a/t into their system is because our engines (current non vvti) are the same so swapping the tranny and ecu is all you really need (also you'll need to redo the center console/cable/gearing/handle parts though.
