I’m so confused though. This tutorial says I should have everything circled in red for the locker. //imgur.com/gallery/f7aEwTm
But the spartan locker doesn’t have what is circled in red. The locker I’ve been told fits a 1998 4Runner is this one which doesn’t look like the one in the tutorial. //imgur.com/gallery/XowvzDd
Am I missing something?
I came upon an impossible to pass up deal on an extremely well cared for and "low" mileage (120k) 3rd gen limited. It's 2wd though. Realistically this should serve me for 100% of the "wheeling" I do - I've only ever done FS roads to access remote campsites with the family. I'm perfectly happy with that and have no burning desire to get into any crawling or more extreme trails. However, I've always done all my camping in AWD vehicles - a couple of Subarus, an Audi and a RAV4.
How much of a difference in performance on loose gravel on a steep grade, or in light mud, can I expect from the RWD rig? Would installing a rear locker on it give me a significant boost in assurance that I can get out of the woods if we get rained or snowed on 20 mi from pavement?
Thank you!

I am considering installing a Toyota OEM e-Locker in my 1998 SR5 4WD 4Runner w/ ABS non-locker. I just checked with Toyota and my gear ratio is 4.10. The issue for me is I want to install as close to OEM as I can. Install Toyota parts as I do have a warranty that is still in effect so at a minimum I want to use Toyota parts but even still I may wait till the after market warranty expires. I can rip out the interior of my truck and route the needed wires that need to be added to the harness, add pins to plugs, re-pin connectors, install harness wiring and switches. I can turn a pretty good wrench and should have most all the hand tools I need to remove and install the rear end. So here in are the questions:
1. Not too sure of the what will be totally involved and to add to the dilemna, I just had the seals in the rear axle replaced along with the brakes. If I keep the OEM axle housing I currently have, what mods would I have to do to the housing to install the donor e-locker (3rd member?) and what parts would I need? Is it a simple unbolt/bolt replacement with the associated wiring hookups?
2. Should I swap out the present rear end with a corresponding gear ratio e-locker rear end? What things will I need to watch for and check when inspecting a possible donor rear end?
These are the only real options I am considering as I still have a warranty on the truck so this stuff has to be OEM. An air locker is not an option I would care to pursue (cost issues along with resale value). Grinding, cutting, welding are not options available to me either. And as with everyone (for the most part) cash is a consideration. Read a few write ups and the answers to these questions are not totally answered. The wiring is not going to be a big deal, like I said, I can re-pin connectors, route wires and install switches, solder, crimp etc.
Thanks to everyone who replies. The knowledge base here is the absolute BEST! I have gotten so much wonderful advice and instruction for so many here and thats why when I do a write up, I am so meticulous with the pics and such as I know it helps someone else when they come to doing the same mod. Once again, Thank you for your knowledge and assistance.
