I found a complete rearend out of a 2001 Tacoma with an E-Locker for $250. Only thing is it needs a pinion gear and I am sure some it'll need some bearings and a pinion seal. Now my question is could I just use a set of 4.10s from my 87 Truck to rebuild this or would I have to buy a r&p for a 2001 Tacoma.
you can use any v6 gears, i used my 4 cyl (79 truck) gears but i had to use a custom spacer.
Also instead of modifying an IFS housing could I just put the complete rear out of the 01 Taco in? I know it'll require some welding/cutting and I am prepared for that and I know it is about 1.5" wider than an IFS housing.
i would modify the ifs housing i think the 87 housing is a stronger axle housing than the tacoma's were.
If I use just the 3rd member and modify my IFS housing aren't the spline counts different from an 01 and an 87? Thanks guys I'll start a build thread once I get rolling on this.
no the spline counts are the same
