Welcome to the site.

We are riding tomorrow if your interested.

Looks damn good. How does that motor treat you? Plenty of power?

Thanks I love the TDI. With the injector upgrade and chipped computer, the motor is way stronger then the stock v6. It would be a beast if I had locking diffs. It loves to one wheel wonder. I definitely want to try to meet up tomorrow.

Just give a holler and we'll hook up somewhere if you need to follow someone out to the meeting location.

I wheel a yota and wouldn't mind looking that conversion over.

Welcome, and nice yota. Anything under the hood would be better than the 3.0 in my opinion. Throw a rear locker in and you'll be suprised in the difference.

Any recommendations on a good affordable locker or know any body with one they want to get rid of?

I had a detroit locker in one of my previous yota's, but it was pretty pricey. I am leaning towards getting an aussie locker next because of the reasonable price and good reviews I have heard. What size tire's are those 33's or 35's, and what gears are you running?

Pretty sweet swap, I am looking forward to seeing it too.
 
Lincoln is the cheapest locker and pretty much bullet proof. 
It's what I run in the back of mine.  Not the best choice for a truck that sees a lot of street.  $Free-ish
 
A spool is the next option, same as above for street use. 
Although some will argue that it is safer than an actual locker on the road. $125.??
 
Aussie is what I run in the front of the yoda. 
Easy install, affordable and a good warranty.  Works like it should too. $240.00
