Hi,
Im researching rear locker options for my 71 fj40. I currently have an open rear end with faulty drum brakes. It needs a locker and a disk brake conversion. I was looking around to see if I could find an axle to replace it that may already have those parts already, and stumbled upon the 4runner electric locker. Is this axle as strong(I think not, but don't know) or close to the '40? I don't plan on real serious off roading, but I don't want crap stuff either. I don't even know if it is feasable to attempt....axle housing width, ect. I also know that the 4runner is a center housing vs the '40 offset.... What are your guys thoughts? I have a yard that wants $250 for the complete rear end...thats what has my attention the most...
