Is this what you are referring to?

The locker I bought was meant for an 8.0" Toyota axle. Erik Bibelheimer recently posted in the 4x4wire BBS that the Tacoma TRD electric locker also uses an 8.0" ring gear and what appears to be the same electric locker as Toyota used in the 4Runner. It doesn't look like this electric locker will retrofit it into the 8.4" non-TRD Tacoma axle with an open differential unless you obtain the entire TRD axle along with the locker.


If so, basically all that its saying is the 4runner and Tacoma e-lockers are the same. They are 8" lockers and they fit in 8" housings.

The e-lockers (or any standard 8" diffs) will NOT fit into housings that use the T100/Tundra/Tacoma (aka, 8.4") type diff.

*Note- the so-called 8.4" does not really measure 8.4", but thats another story!
