I've been thinking thatI want an elocker. I have an offset drivetrain with a 350/420/3spd thus need a rear offset diff so....

FIRST QUESTION:
Are the 99ish runner and taco e-lockers the same as say like a 95 fj80? (I know that they are high pinion but I was wondering other than that are they the same?)

If so

SECOND QUESTION:
Can a e-locker from one of these fit into a rear of a fj80 housing??? What kind of mods?

If so

THIRD QUESTION:
Who has a rear housing for me from an fj80???

Minitruck e-lockers are standard rotation 8"units. Front 80 series are reverse rotation 8" units. Rear 80 series ar regular roation 9.5" units. All three are different.

Neither a taco/4 runner, nor front 80 series can fit into a rear 80 series housing. You need to find a rear 80 series axle with locker, or order the 3rd member from toyota. Last I checked, it was running about $850 or so with discount.

Can't help you there.
