99 SR5 - How do you know if it has a locking diff?
I'm about to purchase a 99 4runner SR5 [5spd], but the owner doens't know whether or not the vehicle has a locking differential.
Is there some way from looking at the VIN or something to determine whether it has a locking rear differential? Would there be a button or something to push?
Thanks for your help!

Even more sure than looking for the switch, look at the diff. If the drain is on the drivers side, it has a factory locker. If the drain is on the passenger side, it does not.

If the button isn't there, then it doesn't have a locker.
