Complete Rear Axle swap with Elocker question
Question, I just had a complete rear axle assembly delivered for my 1997 4runner and mine is as follows, 16 inch wheels, with abs with no e-locker 4.10 gear ratio. The one they delivered has the elocker on it which I noticed right away and is supposed to be a 4.10 and it also has abs. So can I use this one in my 4Runner without hooking up the e locker or not hooking up the elocker right now but doing that later? Will it still work and I assume it would have to be open and not locked in order to work so how would I test that to see?
Also I can't seem to find anywhere the info on if they made a rear axle assembly with abs, with e locker, with 4.10 gear ratio, with 16 inch tires.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

You can run it, just make sure the locker is in the unlocked position, unless you like driving around corners chirping the tires. If for some reason the locker is already locked (which I highly doubt it is) remove the electric motor and take a screwdriver and slide the rack to the right if I remember correctly and that will unlock it. If you need to wire it up, I would go through 12voltguy and just buy an entire wiring harness from him. I swapped out just the 3rd member on my rig and I remember searching around and the most common combinations with the e-locker was 4.30 gearing and abs.

A lot of Tacomas had an Elocker without ABS. I think ABS was standard on 4runners 96-02
My Tacoma came with a locker and all the options, except with a 5 speed, and no ABS.
Edit: just realized that doesn't really answer your question.
