You have a few options.
TJM air locker
ARB air locker.
Harrop/Eaton E-locker.
And OEM Toyota e-locker. This one is not just bolt in the locker, but you could either modify your housing or buy a replacement housing and install an OEM e-locker plus wiring. A used E-locker axle assembly complete from hub to hub - so you'd bolt this directly into your suspension parts, then deal with wiring, is around $1500. If you can get $500 out of your old axle - this might be a reasonably comparable cost option to the other alternatives. All new parts would probably run you more like $3k+.
Try ATRAC first and see if you think you really need a rear locker.

All aftermarket locker options will require replacing the carrier assembly in the differential. I don't think there are any lunchbox lockers out for the Toyota 8.2, and I wouldn't hold my breath for one. Atrac works really well. Most people wouldn't deal with the harshness of a lunchbox locker on a daily basis for the moderate gain over Atrac. If it was free - I wouldn't put a cheap locker in. I would only upgrade to a selectable locker. On my trail rig - I prefer auto lockers in the rear by far. But on my daily driver I wouldn't want one.
