ANyone with factory Toyota diff locks

Post by Ian Sharpe »

I am not too fond of the ARB ones & my factory Mitsu one doesnt come with rear locker written on it.

I went to a Toyota dealer but they couldnt help me

I was wanting to see what they looked like before I bought one. Actually I would need front & rear , are they the same or do they have writing on them.


BTW which Toyota models had fron t & rear lockers as standard, was it the Sahara & in all series????

My local Tojo dealer didnt know!, boy I wish dealers (all) would learn their product range...

Ian, here's the pic of the locker switch for you. Sorry it's a bit blurred, but my camera is playing up :x . The front and rear are on same switch. Basically push and twist to engage rear, then twist clockwise again to engage front and rear (ie can't engage front without rear.

hope this helps

1990 VX sahara. The factory lockers seems to be reasonably reliable, just slow to engage. only had the vehicle a month or so, so only had limited usage of the lockers, but probably prefer an air locker.
