Elocker upgrade on NON-TRD OffRoad?

[Devil Frog]

I traded in my FJ Crusier for a 4x4 Tacoma a few weeks ago. I ended up with a base SR5 crew cab, with no elocker. I had a few sitautions in the FJC where the elocker saved my @$$, and would like one in the Tacoma.

Has anyone installed a Toyota elocker on a SR5 or TRD Sport (05+ Tacoma)? How hard was it and what is the process and costs. I would prefer to have an elocker than an ARB, I do not want to deal with air leaks.

Other options? I am all ears...

Might be alot easier and cheaper just to get the TRD limited slip, that comes in the TRD Sport packages. Check with Accessorize your Toyota car, truck, 4x4 or SUV with TRDparts4u and Genuine Toyota Accessories.

The base SR5 should have the same 8" rear end as the e-locked Tacoma OR, so in theory you could just swap in the 3rd member and wire up the locker. I can't recall anyone having done this yet.

For the TRD Sport axle, the only selectable option is an ARB.

if you find a whole trd rear axle, drum to drum, it would be easy. the wiring isnt too bad either, or wasnt on my swap (put an 04' elock rear in my 00").
