99 LC rear axle assembly with factory locker (1 Viewer)

[Titan099]

I have been offered a rear axle assembly from a 99 LC with the factory locker and all the hardware. I have a 2001. Will my 01 have all of the correct connectors to make the swap? How many banana's is the swap in terms of difficulty?

Connectors as in for the electronics for the locker or are you talking like mounting points, brake lines and whatnot?
I believe the gearing didn't change until 2003 but I could be wrong, outside of that everything else should bolt right up, at most you might have to do some wiring yourself to have the locker function, but the knockout for the switch is there.

Looking for connectors for the electronics now.

I’m pretty sure @savirc documented this somewhere build thread:

Builds - Savirc Aircruiser build

After a year and half of owning my first LC I figured its time to document my progress and build. 2001 LC bought in March of last year with 64k First things I did. 1. Removed bug deflector 2. Replaced T's with brass T's 3. Replaced gas cap Here she is when purchased and shortly after on her...

From what I remember:
A 3rd party wiring harness
A Slee control board
Brake lines were a little different between VSC/ATRAC models and non-VSC/ATRAC models

You have none of the electrical components - this is not plug and play for an 01. You also need to remove the brake lines from the 99 axle and swap yours over because A-TRAC/VSC.
