ok so today i did the gray wire mod wich is a blue/red wire on 4runners. i did this to my 97 4runner limited. ive installed the ss 1.2 lift and some 33" mtz's on some fj80 rims. so after droppin so much cash on that i was lookin for a free mod. this was the ticket. i must say its awesome havin a locker on demand at anytime! frickin sweet. i would advise that there is 2 4wd control boxes inside the kick panel a green one and a black one. i grounded the blue/red wire coming from the green box first. that did nothing. its the blue/red wire from the BLACK BOX that you want to ground. after switching them around it was a piece of cake.dont know if anyone has had the same prob. but all the write ups i read were pretty vague or expired. lookin forward to doin some doughnuts in the snow! http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ies/rockin.gif

 

Is there a how-to thread somewhere? im thinking about doing this on my '00 limited

Thanks. I tried doing this mod 6 months ago to my 97 limited. I grounded the blue-red from the green box and couldn't understand why it didn't work. Didn't know there were two boxes. Gonna go out and try again.

 

Just grounded the right wire and it works. Awesome. Thanks again.

 

Thats the best mod I have done so far on my 4runner. LOVE it....took me less than 30 minutes to do it.

 

so which wire is it on a 2000 4runner limited the grey wire or the blue and red wire? im confused

 

lol there use to be a good write up but its gone yes black box

 

what about the any speed part??

 

theres a the 5mph safety that wont allow you to lock it over that speed leave that alone but with it locked it will work with any speed

 

Ok. Umm just to clarify there is only a locker on the limited's right?

 

alright so just for clarification, ground the blue/red wire and the locker is available in any mode right?

 

-The locker is an option on most models (my SR5 has a locker)
-The red/blue wire is on the 4Runners, the Grey wire is on tacomas

 

yes ground the blue/red wire going to the plug

 

Just grounded the right wire and it works. Awesome. Thanks again.
__________________no prob glad that worked out! yeah i gave the locker a whirl on my lunch break in a muddy field lol too much fun

 

I know this thread is a little old now but Is this a constant locker or can you mount the ground to a switch to like turn it on or off. Lol sorry for the noob questions ive never done anything with axles and stuff like this. Only electronics lol.

 

the locker is already on a switch. the ground is to be able to turn the locker on in 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive hi. without it grounded the locker can only be enabled in 4 wheel drive lo

 

O. Ok I see. Well from what I have seen on my truck I dont have a diff lock switch. And I say this that there is a sensor for the security where its supposed to be. So does it engange when I move the diff shifter into 4lo?

So in return when I do this Mod the diff will lock in 4hi? also?

 

doesnt sound like you have the locker
