If you are patient wouldn't be surprised to see one come up.

I dunno how true it is but the TLC guys at ih8mud say that the ARB is a stronger diff than the factory e-locker.
That being said, just how strong do you need it?
Short of buying a used ARB you are going to be saving taxes etc buying a used e-locker.

Hmmmm, I may just bid on that. Joust let me know your intentions, I don't want to be bidding against anyone on the forums.

It's from a 98 Taco. Adrian, any idea if this bolts in to a 92 'Runner rear end, and will my 5.29's bolt on to it?
Also, for you ARB guys, factor in the price of the ARB, Setup, and Compressor as well as the fact you will still have the weaker 4cyl carrier, the e-locker is better. Plus if anything happens on the trail with the e-locker you just have to take the motor off and you can manually lock it in Locked, where with an ARB you are screwed....
V6 rear end is *not* the same as a 4 cyl. When I ordered my locker/gears they were specifically for a "4 pin" V6 diff. Does that make sense?
Your good then
From here:

V6 Diff
4cyl Turbo and V6* 4Runners and mini-trucks use the Toyota 8" 4-pinion differential in the rear. This diff is known as the "V6/Turbo diff." It has larger carrier bearings, is generally stronger than the standard 4cyl version, and is a direct swap into axles that use the 4cyl 8" diff. Separate gear sets are made for the V6 style diff (only from Toyota and Precision Gear), but cheaper, more readily available 4cyl style gears are commonly made to fit- the only difference being a very slightly larger pinion gear on the V6 style gear (the actual strength difference in gear sets is debatable). The strength increase in this diff over the 4cyl diff comes mainly from the beefed up housing, which stiffens the entire assembly, keeping the gears in proper (stronger) alignment.
Although somewhat rare, there is a version of this diff that came from the factory with 4.88 gears. The carrier (3rd member housing) has a different pinion offset so that the ring gear doesn't need to be as thick. This means that no gears other than the factory 4.88's will fit this particular diff. However, diff cases, commonly called carriers (factory, LSD, lockers, etc.), for the standard V6/Turbo diff should be interchangeable (4cyl and V6/Turbo carriers are NOT interchangeable).
* A few V6 trucks and 4runners have been found to have come with the 4cyl style diff from the factory. Nobody knows why.
Ten 10mm ring gear bolts, 27 spline pinion shaft.
E-Locker:
A factory option on 3rd Gen. 4Runners, Tacoma 4x4's, and Tacoma PreRunner 4x2's is an electric locking rear differential. This diff is a 4-pinon design based on the Turbo/V6 8" diff and uses the same gear sets.
These locking diffs can be retrofitted into 8" diff axles if the axle housing is modified (see this article for more info). It cannot be easily retrofitted into a T100/Tundra or open-diff Tacoma style axle housing because the mounting bolt pattern is smaller. It "could" be done by an axle builder by doing major work to the mounting flange, but that is not really a practical option.
