Any thoughts. How do they perform with the rear locker? although i know the price to buy one and build up you could have an 80 built up with three lockers for the same price.

A good friend wheels a '97 with factory rear locker.
Tough truck, the 3.4l V6 is a nice torquey motor.
Has Sway Away's up front with lunchbox locker, OME's in the rear, sliders, and bumpers.
It wheels very nice, rear is VERY flexy, front is as good as IFS can be, it's very comfortable on the trail and jumps like no body's buisness. (SAW's
)
However, he is looking to replace it with an 80 for two reasons:
1) You can only take a 4skinner so far before it needs a solid axle.
2) If you need a solid axle it makes more sense to get an 80 because, despite being a Toyota, a 4skinner is simply not as heavily overbuilt as a cruiser, the service life and duty of the parts is not as high as on a land cruiser.
Here are a few pics to help you imagination.
