You need to grind out a small portion of the housing to fit the motor and purchase a few longer studs. Lowrange sells all the equipment needed. I found a 3.73 from a tacoma. Pretty sure the fj autos have the same gear ratio. v6 runners may be a 3.90? the v8s are 3.73.
I think all second gen tacomas and first gen fj cruisers are plug and play minus the grinding. E lockers are great for a daily driven rig. I've got a detroit in my first gen and while its fun to chirp corners I think it would get old on a daily driver.
Never had an arb but I always hear of people having issues with air lines popping loose and then you need onboard air as well.
