PowerTrax Rear Locker
Powertrax Lock-Right Locker 1620-LR | Toyota 4Runner 8"
How hard would it be to install that on your own, it says you can easily do it in your own driveway, but I am not so sure. What do you guys think?

A couple things to take into consideration would be setting proper backlash and having an impact driver. Everything else is pretty simple... those two things makes it a not-so-easy DIY.

Yea, but if I took it to a shop, what might I expect them to charge me?

The lockright isn't a carrier assembly like a Detroit so this one can be done fairly easily in the sense that you do not need to set the backlash. If this is your DD though, the road manners of the lockright aren't the best, although most say they get used to it. You just get what you pay for.

Don't you still have to set up the carrier backlash? Thought I read that somewhere...

Probably in the ballpark of $500 - $600 parts and labor.

I didn't think so, but I've never done a lockright so I'm not 100% sure.

I just installed an Aussie and the assembly and dissasembly is pretty straight forward. You will be a little overwhelmed if you have never taken a third member apart but its doable with someone mechanically inclined to support you.

I am installing this very thing next weekend.. Looks pretty easy really, but you have to mark stuff before you take it apart. No need to do preload, or backlash form what I am told.. I have a buddy that just did it on his Gen 1 Taco.. couple of hours really. I can take pics, and document if needed..
I am STOKED about getting the lockright in the back. Gotta have it for those climbs, wheeling June 26th-27th this month.

Sure thing, look for it Next week! I don't know if you have seen them in action, but they are awesome! The drive pretty good too, but make some funky noises sometimes.
