I've been looking into swapping a rear axle from a locked 99 land cruiser into my 99 LX470. I've found a couple of them for sale in nearby salvage yards. I was looking for any advice from people that may have done it ( I already got some advice from Bama4door, thanks a lot for that)
So far it looks like I need the following:
-Complete rear axle assembly with locker (~$500 to $700)
-Wiring harness ($179) I found this one HERE, and the guy says I don't need the locker ECU for it? What does the ECU do? Couldn't I just wire it to an OEM switch?
-Slee control box (if needed) $89
-OEM locker switch (~$80) Should I just use some aftermart switch instead?
Anything I missed? Anyone have any input or advice for getting this done?
