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?!!!

 

Diff lock motor, actuateor thingy..

 

That thing sitting on the diff.

 

that's a new one ... no rear dif huh ..

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:

E-Locked Diff:

 

I knew what he meant.

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

 

Call me crazy, but I don't believe your lower control arms are supposed to look like that....

 

He has the front wheel drive version ...TaaDaa..

 

doublee

 

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!

 

i thought the locker was a option ? mine came with a 5spd

 

haha, wow.. im an idiot.. diff LOCK!!! guess i was writing in a hurry and just didn't come to think i forgot the key word LOCK. haha forgive me, i have my days

 

not bent anymore

 

well checked, no locker motor bummer. I wonder how i got screwed with the 1 out of like 10 ltd 99's that don't have the rear diff lock.

 

get a lockright

 

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.

 

I would assume plenty of them. Same reason they made plenty with 2WD.

 

Roughly 90% or more depending on region.
