I wouldnt really hesitate to do it in the rear if it didnt see a lot of road time but I would find a selectable or auto for the front.
Turning radius will increase 
Doing this in the front would probably promote birfield failure.

Howdy! With LockRights in both ends, I notice a difference in steering control. Lincolns will make it worse. I have lost some control on very soft/slick surfaces like sand or loose rock. It is very noticable on steep uphills on hardrock. I would not recommend it unless you want to go straight all the time. It will steer about like a railroad train. John

Howdy! Which specs do you need? It is probably a 2F engine, an H42- long body 4 speed transmission, and semi floater rear axle with 3.7 ratio in the differentials. The diffs are the same as FJ-40s and FJ-55s, but the axle housing is about 3 inches wider. Typical USA market. If it is an import, then there could be some different goodies on it. John
