yes you can put on the manual locking hubs. very easy and quick mod.

for the acceleration, welcome to the world of v6/autos. they are typically gutless. what size tires and what gears do you have?

The automatic toyotas are notorious for being unbearably slow. Your best bet to increase performance is to re-gear the differentials. Toyota undergeared the automatics from the factory, they have a very big overdrive gear, almost impossible to pull up anykind of hill.

Regear to:

31" tires - 5.29 gears
33" tires - 5.71 gears.
