Arb air locker help

Hey guys I am wanting to put a arb air locker system on the rear of my 2013 trd sport but I don’t know what all I need or which kit to get can y’all help?

 

Go electric!

 

Contact east coast gear supply.

Also research. Not something you can do yourself.

 

I can’t get electric unless I swap my axels and everything so that is out of the question....

I know I would take it to a diff shop but I’m just not Shute on what all I need as in parts wise and I know there has been people do it before on a 2013 trd sport

 

You really need to read up a lot more on differentials and lockers because you can get an electronic locker with the differential and axles you have now.

And a shop can help you figure out what parts you need. I also suggest looking at all the Tacoma locker installations on gearinstalls.com
That guy does air and electric locker installations as well as regears on Tacomas and other Toyotas. If you read through it all he gives a good breakdown of all the parts needed.

 

Thank you this is new to me this helps!!!

 

was just looking at this thread for rear diff sizes.

What is the electric locker called????

It's called a Harrop, kind of pricey but has good reviews. Here's a link to an installation on a Tacoma rear diff. There are a few styles so be sure to look up which one your truck has so you can plan from there.

Will the old Carrier bearing and gaskets work?

 

Well they are 6 years old and who knows how many miles.....so probably not.

 

I just had ARB lockers installed in my 2013.
You'll need RD111 for front and the

$1,091 RD129 Air Locking Differential

RD129 for the rear. This was for the 4:88 gearing I had installed.

 

I think I’m going to go with the electric system it looks like less hassle and I want have to worry about an air pump

 

I was looking at an e locker as well but there is pros and cons to both, I might end up with ARB.

Harrop FTW.

ECGS has ARB and also sells Harrop.

 

What would be the best long term arb or harrop

 

I think in some circumstances it depends on what you intend to do. I don't have any experience with the e-lockers so can't really comment on them. I don't know if they are susceptible to failure due to moisture or not.
The air lockers also have pros and cons to consider. You may get a leaking one but that ca generally be traced and rectified.
Another bonus with the air locker system is that you will then have on board air which depending on your setup, can be used for airing up tires, operating small tools, blow gun nozzles, and such.

 

Probably Harrop but I’m biased because I installed one on my truck about 2 years ago. I re-used carrier bearings cuz they’re low mileage and just used RTV for a gasket. No problems and plenty of off-roading and towing since. It’s a simpler set up (less parts) than an ARB and somehow I didn’t like the idea of sending pneumatic pressure into my diff... neither did I have a use for that stupid compressor you’d need with an ARB because I have a CO2 tank to fill tires.
