WTB Locally. 80 series FF rear end. No elec. locker.

I am looking to swap out my FF electronic locking rear end with a non-electronic FF rear end. I am going to install a mechanical locker for simplicity. If anyone has a lead on one, or wants to trade their unlocked axle plus cash for a locked axle, let me know. Thanks!

Couldn't you just source a unlocked third member and swap that in? Might be easier and cheaper than swapping the whole axle?

Yes. That is a much better option. For some reason I was thinking the locker actuator was attached to the axle housing, not the third. Brain fart. So correction, looking for a unlocked third member for a 94 FZJ80.

I am sure you could find one in the south bay wrecking yards.

Roger that, Ill check for sure. It would just be nice to know the history as opposed to playing russian roulette and pulling on off a wrecked rig.

No luck in the yards. Still looking if anyone has one locally. Thanks!

You should have told me you were going. I know of a couple of yards with 80 stuff. I'll see if I can find the info.
