I'm working on installing an E-locker from a late 90s truck into my 80's 4Runner. I can handle most of the mods needed to the 80s axle housing (welding, grinding) in order for the e-locker 3rd member to fit. Unfortunately I don't have a drill press or a good way to drill and tap the holes needed for new studs.
This should be a pretty simple task to any shop familiar w/ this swap (litterally just involves drillingtapping threads in the casing. Any local guys up to the task? I live between Churchville and Aberdeen, Bel Air is just a spit away.

Oh, and I need a v6 Toyota rear axle housing if anybody's got one (only need housing, no axles drums or anything)....

Thanks.
I was kind of hoping for a 4x4/fab shop that might already be familiar w/ this retrofit, or at least accustomed to working on axles etc... and maybe be able to locate the axle for me too.

I COULD use my current axle, but that's alot more work since, well, once I take it off thetruck, I won't have any way to get it to the shop, lol... I'm not really seeing it fit in the back of my Mazda

I have no experience with these people but people on here have had good dealings with them, and there are local to you. http://www.powersrockandrally.com/portal/portal/default/Contact

There are very few GOOD 4wheel shops in this area. There is a place in Perry hall called Perry hall power equipment. I have heard he is pretty knowledgeable.

Give Jason a try at Powers Rock and Rally he did an incredible job wiring up my buggy and has great attention to detail.

Appalachian Offroad is a hike for most of you guys it is out in Westminster. Ive driven there at least 1x a week this year so far but the drive is worth it for the quality of work and service. Mike at Appalachian gets THE best pricing on gears and lockers and such from Randys R&P and can get great deals on rubicon express and other lift kits etc as well.
