2001 Montero Sport XLS 4X2 Locker options
So after doing some searching I have came across some info for what I have been searching but it seems mixed. My Montero does not have LSD. So From what I understand I could swap out for the LSD Rear from same year. I also understand the Arb makes an aftermarket. Otherwise I seen bits and pieces of info hinting that a 99 or older SR model would bolt on the 2001. Is there any truth to this?

ARB makes an Air-Locker differential. That is actual locking dif, not just a limited slip. It is a great option for off-roading, but it cost a pretty penny. Plus you'll need to have an air compressor installed to run it.
Sorry can't help with the diff swap question - no experience in that area. |

Sorry can't help with the diff swap question - no experience in that area. alternately, it's fairly common to adapt an air conditioning compressor to an air compressor for on-tap PSIs. to the OP. what is your intent? 2001 is a car. 4x2 is a car, why the hell would you bother paying for a slip diff in it? |

Nope its a 4x2 :/

Sorry about that. You just going to have to stay on the paved roads :(. There is no point to do much to your differential - it's not going to improve much.

This is FACT !!!!

I have successfully swapped the factory air locker from a 95 Montero SR into my 2002 montero sport xls (2wd, non-abs, 3.5L). You have to make sure the the gear ratios match. I believe the 3.0l MS is 4.93 and the 3.5l MS is 4.63 (same as the SR). One added benefit with the swap is that the rear brakes change from from to disc. I think if you have a abs then you may run into issues with the abs sensor ring tooth count and/or spacing on the hub.

Sounds like you swapped the entire back axle?
