I found this (bottom of list) and I was wondering if it fits both ends of the 80? I'm 95% certain it would work on the front, but I'm not sure on the rear. Can someone confirm whether the 80 has a "high pinion front and Tacoma TRD rear 8" diff"?
:cheers:

On electric locker equipped differentials the external motor can be subjected to damage from from rocks and trail debris. This bolt on protector, prevents damage to the motor. Made from heavy 1/4" plate steel this guard can take a pounding with ease. Fits high pinion front and Tacoma TRD rear 8" differentials. Unpainted finish.

The rear is a different animal. I had to buy one for Sarahs truck from Cdan.
 
It seems that there is no armor for the rear e-locker (the one I was more concerned about of course!). The front is available (although Boston Mangler was having some trouble with the Inchworm guard and his tierod). Thanks for the help
 
I have seen them before I just cant tell you were they came from? I have an inchworm on the front of my 80. But like others said it hits the tie rod.

There is an OEM Toyota rear locker actuator guard but it's pretty wimpy feeling and looking. It could get rocked pretty easily IMO. I tried to find something tougher a few years ago and came up with nothing.

You'd think with Slee, MAF (4+), Hanna, SROR, IPOR, 4x4labs, and all the others out there these days making sweet stuff for the 80s that there'd be a heavy duty rear locker guard...

I'm also surprised that nothing's ever turned up from down-under...

Ever priced a new (or tried to find a used) actuator? $$$$ :eek: You can mark me down for one if anyone ever brings them to the market.

Actually tested the design on the UA and we are going into production. Just waiting for final quotes on the design. Stay tuned.
 
OK, so I'm dreaming a bit...

How about a package discount for front/rear locker & center diff skid together all painted shortbus yellow?
