Just got my 4runner

Just picked up my 1997 White LTD, with Diff Lock. It need a good wax and wash.

A few questions....
Is it true the diff lock only works in 4 low?
I need touch up paint for the fender flares does anyone know what the paint code is?

Thanks looking forward to many posts

So why do they not let you us diff lock when not in 4low? Does it cause problems?
