Good point! I amaze people all the time when my 4runner with Revo's hangs with any size jeep or truck regardless of what trail it is. There are a couple of trails I want to try that will require some good undercarriage protection before I try them, though.

I am curious since I was thinking of locking my 4.10 front diff when I convert my PreRunner to 4WD. A front locker is not something I need everyday but (a) since I'll have everything torn apart I may as well do it now, (b) I don't plan to go above 32" tires and therefore don't expect to re-gear and (c) a front locker could be useful for when I get my ass stuck in the snow (a likely scenario
).Thanks!

Dave is right on.
There is no point in my mind to add a locker to a stock geared diff. You will have to go through the time and money of setting the gears, but not get the benefit of having lower ones.
