how did i manage to not have Rear Diff...
 
So, I have a 99 Toyota 4Runner Limited with everything you can think of.. Fully loaded to the max, even have the tall coils. BUT NO REAR DIFF LOCK??? How did that happen?! Is there anything I could check that would indicate me having one other than the obvious RR Diff Lock switch? Thanks guys.

Good question...how do you not have a rear diff?


What is your driveshaft attached to?! HOW ARE THE AXLES TURNING?!!!

here is a test for you ... circle the 'differential' please. and explain how you drive forward without one.

Like others have said, looking at the rear diff is the most obvious solution to know whether or not you have an elock diff:

I knew what he meant.

I was just curious how his truck drove around without a diff :D :hillbill:

NO they are not! I stole the pic from crolision a few threads down, about how his LC arms are bent... just happens to have a prefect view of the locker motor!

You got screwed by not looking when you bought your vehicle.

this is true.. now it's got me wondering how many 99 ltd's were made without the lock.

gpcollen1 11-16-2009 11:16 AM
I would assume plenty of them. Same reason they made plenty with 2WD.

Roughly 90% or more depending on region.
