Is there a secret handshake?

Phong, awsome job

I am a little confused where you speak about "(NO ABS, ABS, and ABS+LOCKER)" Were you in the ABS+LOCKER catagory and what is the system that Toyota used to classify which rigs got which harness.

Thanks!!

Very nice write-up Phong.

One day, I hope to be locked as well.

Since I didn't have the locker, I was in the ABS category. Toyota wired those harnesses correctly and accordingly. If they had given me the ABS+LOCKER harness, it would have been a LOT easier (i.e. completely plug-n-play). You probably have the ABS harness as well.

No, but you should worry a little about the hazing.

Don't let the testosterone fire up too much when you hit that little orange button.

Great write-up Phong, I'll be using it after I gather up all the parts,,,, now that I know what parts to gather.

I always feel like a total dufus on this forum since I always seem to know less than anyone else around here 'bout my Runner. My daily driver is actually a VW GOlf:eek:

But my dad has a '99 Limited soon to be mine and I was wondering if I have the e locker that everyone seems to want.

Would this be the button to the left of the wheel that says RR diff lock or something like that?

r2xj · 10-26-2002, 02:44 PM

so what about an electric locker in a 2nd gen???

Yes, that's it.

The housing modifications are similar, but the electrical will be a little more involved since you won't be prewired like me. You will find my wiring diagrams very helpful. Refer to the links at the bottom of my write-up to see how others have retrofit them into different generations.
