[haddix]

Don't think I need to say much.

Went to columbus and picked up a rear TRD axle regeared to 4.88. Now I need the front. Cant wait to put this in.

[MunkeyTX]

[E30RUNNER]

[Ohio4R]

Was the guy from the Cleveland, OH Area if so I know who it was, he had a tacoma with the frame recall and he is parting his truck out.

Nice! Lower diff gears are one of the best upgrades for an off road vehicle (besides a 4:1 t-case gearset).

Thanks everyone. It is the guy parting out his taco in Cleveland. I found it on ttora and picked it up for $600 which I think is a great deal. Same thing sales on marlin crawler for 1500. I wish it made coffee. Nothing better than a locked axle and a fresh cup of coffee.

Not bad except I love my auto. Probably one of the few who would t trade for a 5 speed.

 

[Elton H]

yea a 5spd's are not so great in stop and go traffic

I wouldn't either!

Glad someone else isn't jumping on that 5 spd bandwagon lol. I love the auto. Super easy and super reliable. I now need the get the front gears. The same guy is selling an arb locked front diff but I don't think I really want the front locked. Decisions decisions.

To each his own.

How do you plan on wiring up the locker? The Factory route? If so I'm interested in following this thread. I'm looking to do the same with my Runner, axle Swap from a Limited, then onwards with the Diff Lock computer, wiring harness, and finally switch as well as other parts that may be needed.

when i bought my '97 4runner, i didn't realize it had a REAR DIFF LOCKER..not 'till the salesman told me about it..all i wanted was to have the truck..knowing now that it has that factory option...i feel even luckier.

So you got the whole Tacoma rear end (drum to drum), or just the third member?
