Confused over options on this truck

[Illestreker]

I'm interested in this truck and in the pictures it looks as if it has the button for the e-locker. To left of the e-locker there is another larger button (below AC vent) that I cant figure out what it is... I've never seen a close up of this button and what its for.

Secondly, is the code sticker. According to the codes here it states A03A which is 4.10 diff. But I thought when ever the truck had the e-locker the diff was supposed to be 4.30 being A04A code?

And its a 2000, so could this be one of those rare ones that come with both e-locker and multi-mode AWD?

the one where the e-locker button should be looks like it says "security", and the one under the AC vent looks to be aftermarket (maybe for aux lights).

No that's not an e locker button. It's the place where it would be. It's just a "security". Flasher to let you know the alarm is on.

The other button is just for other accessories like lights or something. Just have to follow the wires.

Switch below the vent appears to be a fog light switch.

As for having the e-locker and multi-mode....I don't think so. The instrument cluster doesn't show the multi-mode display.

My question is: Is it equipped with 15" wheels?

 

[Illestreker]

Ok thanks guys. For future reference, if you cant see the button in a pic do any of the codes on the sticker prove it has the e-locker. I know how to read it for gear ratio but not sure if there is a code for e-locker.

MOST 3rd gens that are locked have 4.30s, not necessarily all. You could easily have 4.10s and a locker. But this doesnt even have a locker.
(I know for sure that all locked Limiteds have 4.30)

Speaking of limiteds, that isnt one. That does not have multi mode

Is it even worth struggling to find a 4runner with the e-locker? I'm sure there are better locker options out there that arnt to expensive to have installed.

There are other options for lockers, but none of the selectable lockers will be very cheap. The auto lockers like Aussie are cheap and pretty easy to install (no gear set up required), but they are not as versatile as a selectable locker.

If you can find one with an elocker, it will be easier on your wallet, since most elocked 4runner don't really go for much higher than non elocked ones. If you get a non elocked one, expect to pay $1K+ for an aftermarket selectable locker (usually more with installation).

And like the others have said, the 4runner in question has a normal "J shifter" so it's just normal 4wd (2hi, 4hi, 4lo). No elocker, no multi mode. Chances are it has 4.10s, but the gear codes are not 100% reliable. There are many cases on this and other Toyota forums where the code said one thing and the "spin test" proved the code wrong.
