diff lock in 2 high mod
- Thread starter Millhouse
- Start date
I have not heard of this yet. I think a few have tried but unsuccessful due to the complicated wiring on these trucks.
@UploadAdventure you have something similar but not this one thing in particular right?

Shoot. Sorry I missed this. Yes I have a 2lo mod in my truck. Plug and play. But I don’t have the “locker anytime” mod. I have the schematics to do it, but it’s pretty complicated because the diff lock is ecm controlled.

Okay. Guy is out of town. When he gets back he’s going to see if he has any more. He thinks he has 1-2 left. If he does it’s mine aka yours.

It allows you to put the truck into low range gears while still in 2wd. This can be handy when towing a boat for example.

Puts you in lo of 4lo. But doesn’t engage the front differential. Therefore you can essentially steer on a paved or concrete surface and not mess up your front differential.
and what @Mr. Nobody said. Great for boats. Trailers. Backing up things on hills. I use it all the time because my driveway is on a hill side. I need it to back my pop up camper into my garage.

If there is any progress on the pnp locker anytime, I would love to hear the good news and where to get one.

Thanks, I'll check out the other site. I am trying to utilize what Toyota already has in place, without spending lots of $$$ and labor on aftermarket lockers, especially since it is new truck and I don't want to mess with the factory warranty. If there is a relatively simple fix, cool......if not, the Tacomas are still an awesome and very capable truck, the way they come off the line.
As far as the technology goes, you are correct StormRnr, the Toyota engineers nailed it with the traction control and MTS systems. For most drivers in most situations, you can't beat it and it will keep you out of trouble. I guess I'm just an "old-school" guy who still likes to shift his truck and loves the feel of both back wheels digging in....... and having the option to lock them when I want. Thanks to everyone for the input. This is why I love this forum...real owners with good experience and knowledge. Thank You.

For me, it would be great for reversing up my 25 degree driveway when it's coated/packed with snow and having the negotiate around a work van and mini van.

Looks like this is the best way to get diff lock in 2WD, though it's still only in low range. But given how complicated the systems are in these trucks I suppose this might be the best option we'll get.2LM PnP Harness *PRE-ORDER* | BBPond Tuning

Yes, you push a button that you install with it. It's mostly for low range in 2wd so you can turn on pavement without binding up. It also allows the locker to be engaged.

I have the 2 lo in my truck. One of the originals. It works good.
Mainly good for backing up boats and stuff like that. I’ve used it rarely on the trails.
