98' 100 series damaged my front diff recently, likely due stock 2 pinion as well as driver error. My foot was suddenly a little too heavy!
Trying to decide between getting a new front diff from Toyota (would be 4 pinion) vs going to lockers. Never had lockers before and haven't felt like I've missed them, but I didn't have them so it wasn't an option I even thought of. I come across some larger rock on occasion but don't seek them out. Usually try to drive around them or have strategic wheel placement. Rig is mostly a camping vehicle - not daily driver.
Looking for best value, I have a budget but do have some flexibility with it.
Do you feel the front lockers are worth it vs OEM 4 pinion front diff?
Would you do both front and rear?
I have not been able to reach Slee (email and phone) so no idea what they would charge. Toytech for front and rear is around $4K but not sure they are including the price of the compressor.
New OEM complete front diff is $2535 shipped to my house. Then not sure how much Western Drivetrain charges for install but likely less than the $1700 in labor from Toytech.
I appreciate the input, thoughts/opinions.
Thanks
