Elocker retrofit

Hi all,

I picked up a locked rear end from a first gen Tacoma this weekend for a good deal, with the intention of sticking it in my rig for a quick and dirty locker solution. After looking closely at the axle housing, I noticed it had been bent in a collision. Damn. Still a good deal so I scooped it anyways.

So I plan to use my axle housing. I went to look up the Sonoran Steel writeup, but I can't find it - I get a "page not found" message.

Any chance anybody has this saved somewhere? Or if anybody remembers the steps and maybe has some photos. I know I need to drill/tap and build up some metal with weld, just would like to look at the writeup before I start for some peace of mind. Thanks.

Tacoma rear axle housing won't work anyways unless you convert to rear leaf springs. If you are using a non locker axle housing you'll have to cut out the 3rd member opening for the locker 3rd to fit, and drill/tap new holes for the 3rd member bolt pattern change.
