Hey does anyone know how to do the rear diff locker mod on a 3rd gen runner, so you don't have to put it in 4Lo? I thought it was in the tech section but I couldn't find it.

i beleive it is called the "grey wire mod". search that and you should be good. i dont have the e-locker so im not sure, i just ordered the lockrite today.

 

If you are talking about the "grey wire mod" it makes it so that you don't have to be in 4-lo to engage the locker. There is a link about it in the nebie FAQ, a sticky at the top of the newbie section.

 

Cool thanks, I found it!

 

mines the blue/red wire

 

http://www.hboss.net/4runner/locker_safety.htm ground the wire from the plug

 

I just finished the grey wire mod today....well mine was blue/red, but anyways it works great. Just had a question....why did toyota design it so you could only lock the rear in 4Lo? Was it a safety precaution? I know the 5 mph interlock was so you didn't $*%$ up the diff, but have no clue about the other.

so you dont go screwing around in slippery conditions at speed. say...rainy weather, 2wd, diff lock on, off ramp...wannabe drifter driver. not a good combo...

so yes. its a safety precaution.

 

the trd prerunners can turn it on go however fast, the only difference is ours have a front axle.

 

yea the locker is fun in a icy parking lot going about 5mph in 1st stomp on it you end up sliding backwards so much fun

 

does this work for 02 4runnners as well?

 

an 02 4runner wouldnt have the e-locker, at least not from the factory

 

Figures! So now I'm stuck with this stupid traction control?

 

I'm just wondering, what's the point of this mod? I understand it allows you to engage the locker in 2WD/4-Hi, but why? The only time I've needed to engage the locker was when I was in 4-Lo.

I'm just curious.

Thanks!

 

So that you can have some fun in the snow doin donuts and slides. And to power through the slippery stuff! And most importantly, not be held back by the MAN!!!!

 

Right on!! I don't like using 4Lo unless I have to. I like having my front and rear locked in 4Hi. It works great, had the rig out this past weekend. I only used 4Lo if I'm getting into some nasty ˟˟˟˟˟!

 

with an auto tranny it helps in deep snow and mud, using 4hi. i wish i had a manual, 3rd in 4lo is better for mud IMO.

 

 

We need someone to come up with or find the mod for 2002 's that shut off the anti- spin!!!
