I was cross shopping with the Nissan Titan. It has an available Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS) system. Same thing as ATRAC. (Also an optional rear locker but not available with the stability system.) On the Titan forums, owners swore up and down the ABLS system had no limitations and is miraculously better than an LSD. They just did not see the limitations. But Toyota's quality and my urban driving requirements make a 4Runner my only option. An 04 or 05 is another decision...
Those Titan owners need to do more reading!

BTW, in theory, when you lock the rear axle (via locker), both wheels turn at the same speed...no speed differences between them. Thus, traction control would not turn on because ABS sensors only detect differences in wheel speed (and there is none with a locker).

Now, this only applies IF Nissan allows owners to turn off stability control (as with 4runner via locking center diff). Stability control (not traction control) and locker do not mix well because stability control will kick in whenever oversteer or understeer is sensed. So, even if both rear wheels are spinning at the same rate (via locker), brakes are still applied if oversteer or understeer occur...and this goes against what a locker is trying to do. Thus, locker will not work with stability control.

Based on this, i do not think that Nissan allows switching stability control off, which sucks because stability control will kill momentum in off-roading!
