Toyota locking rear diff

[iBreakSh1t]

i have been looking into cheap junkyard ways to improve the limited slip or put a locker in my r50, wanted to know if anyone has any information on weather or not a factory toyota locking diff will work under my truck.

This is a great question! I wish I knew the answer, too. You could re-gear it to 4.56, which would be close. Of course, by the time you do a nice wiring job, you might have just been better off to save for the ARB.... That's what I'm doing.

 

It's a good idea though. What a luxury to be able to just push a button and be locked up... Someday.

I dont think the 3rd member would be a direct swap. Im sure things dont line up the same. Would probably take some time machining t get it right, but the cost of that mihgt change your mind. Now swapping the whole axle is a possiblity. Some fab would still be needed for the links, spring perches, driveshaft and electrical connections. I think there is a lokka locker option out there, but im not sure.

alright so ive done some digging and the center sections will not fit, leaves me with a few options but i think im gonna go with adding shims to my existing lsd. next question being what is the best way to lock the front end?

The BEST way is an arbbut the cheapest i Think would be to weld the spider gears and install warn or mile marker hubs. Leave one of them unlock for daily drive and lock in trail.
