Anybody have a 60 series with factory lockers?

BTW, I'm a newb from the US. Here's a pic of my '87 FJ60

i got a 40 with ARBs

The old girl look original.

What plans are in the wind?

Well, I'm getting a set of axles with factory lockers in them from Japan, along with the controls. Just wanting some advise on the install. Since the US was never privileged to get factory lockers in our 60, along with pto winches, and diesels, damn Toyota USA.! I thought you OZ guys could help.

Besides the lockers, getting a winch and doing an Old Man Emu lift with some 33" Swamper TSL's

BTW, she's 100% stock, for now

can' t tell for pic but what side drive is it.

convert them to cable as its less hassles.

They already are cable actuated. They're from a '87 HJ61.

ok, sorry for my confusion, i always thought the factory ones were elctric solenoids and neede a conversion, maybe they changed it when they changed to the 80 series.

No problem. Yes, they changed to the electric solenoid with the 80 series, I'm not sure about the 70 series though. According to my Toyota EPC, the 70 series also had cable lockers. Here's a pic of a 60 series locking 3rd:

yeah that is the go. 1989-1990, changed over from cable to wire looks sweet!!!

Out of curiosity how much are you paying for the factory lockers complete landed in the US and are there more available??

$2500 US before shipping. That's 2 axles front/rear completed with lockers. I'm sure there's more available.

Ouch why didnt you just fit ARB Airlockers they are way cheaper than that over there?

Well the price realy isn't that bad, lets see:

2 ARB lockers $1400
Gears $400
Air Comp $200
Intall Cost $$$

Now, my mechanic was going to charge me $2000 US, parts and labor, to install lockrights w/ lower gears. My stock axles are 3.73 and the new/used axles I'm getting are 4.11. I'm only going to be running 33" so 4.11 should do just fine. I could have saved some $ by gong with ARB's, but I like the simplicity of a cable. I'm also getting a full floater rear axle, winch was never an option in the US. Plus I'm going to do the install myself.

thats what i was thinking the floater upgrade is sought after, and sells for around $500 US i think.

hi i have a vx sahara with factory lockers and they are great they allso have biger carrier bearings than standard aswell much tufer then an airlocker

naybe you should have chimed in 8 years ago>?
