This here is my 2nd gen Tundra — a 2007 with the 5.7 — and I love this truck. But the one thing I do not like about it is Toyota never gave these trucks a factory locker. From 2007 all the way to 2021, even with TRD Pro, TRD Off-Road, Rock Warrior… none of them came with a rear locker, which is super unfortunate because the Tundra is already super capable off-road. In this video I’m fixing that by going front and rear Eaton E-Lockers. I talk about why I chose Eaton (reliable, been around forever, and they simply work) and why I wanted e-lockers specifically instead of messing with air lines and compressors. The big takeaway is the simplicity: both diffs are basically “two wires, hook up the harness, tie into your switch system, flip the button, and it works” — open to 100% locked immediately. I also explain the real-world reason I’m doing this: I’ve already found the limits of an open-diff Tundra on harder trails here in Colorado. We ran trails down by Ouray and the only one we couldn’t do on our own was Poughkeepsie Gulch — we had to pull winch line — and I honestly believe a locker would’ve changed that. This truck is built to live out of and still hit difficult trails, so I’m trusting Colorado Axle and Gear (the masters) to handle the install, and I’m ordering seals and bearings ahead of time to avoid downtime.
