I'm looking I to a locker swap in and swap out the front and rear axles for limited axles then lift bumpers armor and lights eventually... I know for the most part what I want to do with it the only issue at this point is the income portion lol being able to afford to do it

Looks like you have a good platform to start with there. Locker swaps are easy peasy but just money to do them. If you decide to do a LockRight or whatever LMK cause that is what I am running. DD my rig with one now and no issues. And money is the root of all evil!!!

i dunno if anyone has done a retrofit with a 3rd member? if so i would definitely be open to some help if i decide to go that route... its alot cheaper than a full axle swap and if i do an axle swap i think i may end up swapping both front and rear axles... so any input would definitely be appreciated... cause i really want a locker that i can engage and disengage from up front and what not....

You keep referring to a front axle swap - what are you talking about, there? There's no difference in the front end of any 3rd gen 4Runner except for axle ratio.

If you got 4.10s you'd be ok running the 4.30 e-locker in the rear and the 4.10 up front.

just cause they are so close in ratio? cause i figured if i find someone with both then i might as well just get both.. and swap them both when i do suspension... but im still trying to figure it out and decide if im going to retrofit or if i can find a full axle for a good price

If you only ever used it on low speed dirt or snow, you'd be ok. I wouldn't ever wanna run mismatched diffs in 4wd on icy streets though, or try and do anything high speed in 4wd. I had 4.10 in front and 4.30 in back of my last truck for a little bit, and it made the steering crazy funky.

It's not a super price, but it isn't horrible either. I don't think anybody here has done an elocker retrofit, but it doesn't look that hard.
