05+ tacoma drums on 86-94 pickup axle? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

cheaprides · 11-17-2010, 06:35 AM

the truck it would be going into is a 2010 single cab 4x4 tacoma.

i have a factory trd locker that i want to swap into the houseing but since i cannot i might be willing to swap it into an old pickup houseing then swap my brakes to this old/new axle.

i have a posi unit in now the truck doesnt go like a locker would.

maybe selling what doesnt work to buy what does (arb) is the best idea?
the trd locker is from a 2009 FJ.

Not sure on actuall numbers, but the older housings going to be narrower. An ARB in your existing housing would be a better idea.

'05 and up use a different bearing setup and also a different brake system. Among other things, the drum is smaller than '04 and earlier.
