LJ78 Locker

[Blue1]

I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I'm planning on putting a locker into my Prado ( 1990 with the G144 code axle) and am trying to decide whether to go with using a factory elocker out of my wrecked 96 4runner or going with the ARB . If I use my factory e-locker I'm aware I need to modify my axle housing and pull the wiring/relay/ and switch out of the 4runner and also change the ring and pinion to a 4.88.
If go ARB I should just need to move my ring from the open diff to the locker and set backlash( and of course plumb it in, install a compressor etc. but I do have plans to install a compressor anyways). I've done a bunch of searching and there seems to be a difference of opinion on which ARB unit I need. From what I can tell its the RD132 that I need but I'm hoping someone who has installed one in the same axle can confirm this.

Correct, you need RD132. Installed a rear one on my LJ79, also G144 axles.

Thank you. Purchased one today. Getting HEL performance to make me custom lines instead of using the supplied nylon ones. I feel that those exposed airlines are the weak link. HEL make custom brake lines for all my motorcycle builds. working temp is -94 f to 500 f and have a 4200 psi max working pressure. The only part I'm unsure of is the copper sealing washers used. I may need to use the style that has both a rubber and a aluminum sealing surface.
