It seems more work this way from what I've heard and researched. I'm going to wait til I can afford a different swap or come across a good deal that matches. I appreciate the feedback.

I am considering to swap to to rear locker on my 98 limited v6 runner and have found a 99' 2wd Tacoma trd with electric rear locker for a great price. Both have 2 pinion and 4:10 ratio so they match up there. I know there has been a lot written about swaps but I have a some questions. If I have...

diff concerns I have a 1998 limited 3.4L without the e-locker
