4Runner 4th gen locker

Recommended Posts

Anyone done an fj rear axle swap?

If not I’m looking for a good locker that works well with this AWD setup. Any advice or pointers is appreciated.

You mention AWD, I assume it’s a V8? I have not heard of this swap but it makes sense. You may be able to just swap the 3rds and wire it up. In my 89 4Runner, the rear diff with factory elocker is from a 99 4Runner and the front diff with factory elocker is from a 97 FZJ80 - both have wire harnesses from Low Range Offroad.

Everything I've read the 3rd mem swap requires more modification and hole drilling. 07 FJ full axle swap looks pretty much like bolt on then wiring, maybe a bit of fab but much more striate forward. I have had no luck finding a good used one, while I look I thought I would reach out maybe come up with different/better option. I appreciate the input i will look a little harder at the 3rd mem swap.
