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.
