Price check: full float e-lock rear axle, rotor to rotor -$550

[LINUS]

Before mods delete (I get why, won't bug me in the least)

What do you all think?

Stock gears, 181K on it - would $550 land it in your pile o' stuff @ home?

Or is this too much? - I'm thinking of buying since actuators are so $$$ & my 40th has 360K miles on it too, so having an extra locker 3rd around might be good.

Both mine are on e-lockers, so not like I'm trying to do a swap job, plus it's already had the rest of the locker parts scavanged out.

It's a good deal. The only way you'll find it cheaper is if you buy an entire parts vehicle and sell stuff off to recoup the additional cost of the vehicle itself. Time. Space. Hassle.

I think it's a fair price. Non-locked would be at least that price down here.

Good deal around here.

Fair price if complete rotor to rotor, no damage, and not a rusted hulk.

The actuators are like under $300 on Rock Auto new.

I found one semi-locally for $250 and picked it up as a spare. No rotors, or calipers but I have a spare FF axle, axle shafts locked diff, hubs and the actuator works.

If u pass let me know, I'd buy it.

Sweet, been looking for a front locker actuator. Bought the Aisin.

If you want to make good on that, you can - I drove down because it was the exact '97 black / grey as my sig & I rumpled a door & fender, ripped a door panel, etc - so got my needs covered.

Warehousing (more) parts seems like a poor idea, so it's yours. I got under & just did a quick look, has light surface rust (doubt it was a WA rig all it's life) but was still a complete solid axle - it's a retail breaker in Snohomish, WA (360)563.9315

Still had all parts for locker swap aside from fr axle.
