yeah do a search. This really has been brought up alot. You have quite a few different options...we can help you out once you narrow it down a little....

 

i have searched and come up with either an arb or an e-locker, but i have not heard of that locker. toyota said installing an factory locker would cost a small fortune. i've had the factory in my old tacoma and a detroit in an old toy and loved both. looking for something compairable but maybe not as expensive as an arb.

 

I believe the detroit is avail for the 00. The lock rite also? The "e-locker" I think would have been what you had in your taco if it was factory.

 

thank you for the info

 

performance products has the eaton locker for i believe $389. if that helps.

 

it does, thanks

 

Something comparable doesn't exist, that's why you came up with arb or elocker. Those are the only 2 selectable lockers available for the toyota. You can retrofit the elocker into your truck, but you'll need to do a little welding, drilling and wiring.

 

Performance products is way over priced for most of their stuff.

 

I bought a donor rig for $10K with the e-locker and 4.30's, swapped everything out (front and rear), then sold the donor rig for $10,300.

You could always try that approach.

 

I bought a complete e-locker axle from a 1999 for $450 and swapped it all out. E-Locker Retro Fit Then sold my open axle for $375. So I got locked for $75.

Some 2000's (like mine) were partially prewired so it is pretty easy to do the electircal stuff.
