Thank you to all who contributed to this thread. I have learned a bunch, but have decided to go with a different set up all together.
I have a Never been used Front Range Off Road full floater kit ready to grease up and bolt on to a 96+ Tacoma/4Runner. The kit will also fit on an 89-95 pickup or 4Runner, but the alloy shafts will need to be traded in for a narrower set. The kit includes 31 splined Chromo axles, the adapter to go from the stock housing to an 84 minitruck spindle/hub setup (also included) with Raybestos '80 Supra calipers with parking brake mechanism, and all of the bearings and seals, and a proportioning valve from Summit with adapters for metric connectors. The hub flange was re-pinned with 6 @ 5/16" inch pins(stock is 2 @ 1/4" pins, Hendrix Motorsports did the re-pinning). This is truely a bolt on application, ready to go as soon as you get it. I have a bent housing and am looking at other options. I also have a 3rd member for a 96+ 4Runner or 89-95 pickup/4runner with stock Toyota 4.56 gears and a detroit locker.
FROR full float kit: $1550
V6 Turbo 3rd: $600
