sounds like a piece of cake man,  i have a 05 taco elocker in my mini housing,  i hear the taco housings are a little thinner tube  so you might want to watch how big you go with the meats

[bjwest [OP]]

thats what i thought.
my questions would be
how wide overall compared with 85 front
spring perch placment
do they make 5:29 gears for them
how easy is the e locker harnes to duplicate
is the pinion flange the same as mine
do i need difrent brake master cylander or porportioning valve.brakes
i think it has disc rears not sure need to check
i think im going to guset the whole thing to fix the thin wall problem

[79coyotefrg]

disc rears ??   sounds like a fj80 rear

either way,  what mods you have to do will be worth it,  as for the elocker wiring and switch  check out www.12voltguy.com

no rear dics dont know why i thought that

[79coyotefrg]

sounds like wishful thinking to me

i bet the spring perches are the same

if not  just buy some and weld on at the right spot

[bjwest [OP]]

i think it will be easy enough. by my proublems usualy start when i think so i figured id just ask and see

well, they are 60.5 WMS
you will need to change the spring perches
search under e-locker diagram on TTORA.COM
pinion flange should be larger and no to the proportioning valve, IMO

good luck!  holley

I have heard that the axles and diff are great  but the housings are the weak link  Heard they break under abuse  tube by ubolts will crush if use impact on them
