Also, it is the front diff housing. I have heard about center punching the rings in or even welding them in but I am not sure. I am currently looking for the whole shooting match, gears, locker actuator and all. I figure by the time I purchase all the parts for a rebuild I might as well have...

I have E-lockers and the bearings that need to be press fit spin in the housing. I am looking for options. Someone said there is a Land Cruiser bone yard in eastern Iowa. I could use the contact.

Thank you very much. That is exactly what I am looking for. Everything was gone so this will help me find what I need. I have the rebuild kit but it is missing some of the major components. Thanks again.

My 97 had the parking brakes gutted. Does anyone know where I can get instructions for a rebuild? I hear most people rip them out and just go without because of the poor design and when the corrode they basically implode. What are your suggestions?

So this might sound like a stupid question but on my 03 4Runner I had a center diff lock button but on this Cruiser the diff only locks with wheel slip in 4 low. Am I missing something?

This is why I am selling my 88 Ram Charger. You all are so ready to help. I appreciate all the advice.

I have new calibers and pads coming in. Prior owner had a bleeder valve close to stripping. I have blown a break line on the trail before and don't want to mess with the bleeder valves all being 20 years old.

I have new U joints coming in. I was going to replace those being the mileage is so high. I figured it would be time to replace those anyway.

It does have factory Elockers. During my test drive I went down a gravel road and was only able to get the center diff to lock after some skid steering. I couldn't get the front or real to lock up. Do the wheels have to be full on slipping for those to lock?

Also what does something like that run for replacement cost?

It does change depending if I am in throttle or letting off. It is a real deep sound when I let off and is higher pitch when in but still a deep growl sound versus high pitch.

252k so I know that the front end should need some love and attention.

Hello All, Just joined. I recently picked up this 40th Anniversary edition Cruiser. I previously owned an 03 4Runner and always regretted selling. This truck has some issues and money is tight. I have new suspension coming in along with front bearings, seals and Birfield. I am hoping that will...
