I think having the center locked is not too much a big deal like you said Martin. Or atleast when you are not on dry pavement. Its just when taking those tight switchbacks with the wheels fully cranked that I think hmmm is this trail loose enough or am I going to get stranded at 13,000 feet...

I will look into the mod you mentioned, seems like it would work.

Izzard: I believe the benefit of locking the center is lets say your rear is in the mud, your front tires when turn at the same rate as your rear and pull you out. I guess the rear wheels will keep on spinning but at the same rate as the front, so as they front carries you out your rear wheels...

I have owned a 99 Limited for about 4 years now. I have always wondered about the center differential and the ability to steer while the center is locked. Can you 4Runner tranny experts chime in?! OK so on this subject there are so many ifs. Here is a scenario that I need to figure out. I...

I have a 99 4runner limited. It has the electonic air controls and auto climate control. The past two months it has acted Sporadic. I dont ever use the auto climate. I cant even change it from fresh to circulate sometimes. The buttons will just not respond and I am not able to turn the ac...
