Lockers

I have a 2wd prerunner 2003 3.4l really want to trade in for a 4x4 but put to much money into truck so far, i am thinking bout getting a detroit locker for it! Any suggestions, and would that be good

 

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but first try going to the search function and searching for common terms, like locker, Detroit locker, auto locker. There are 100 threads on it that answer every question you have and reviews and opinions on the topic for days

 

Whats wrong with your E locker ??

 

wut

 

No confusion Mark, OP says he has a prerunner, ergo he should have an e locker..yes ??

 

^Not sure if 1st gens were equipped differently, but in 2nd gen PreRunners, the locker was optional and came only with the TRD OR package.

@Blaise03: A 4x4 with open diffs is much more capable than a 4x2 with rear locker. For a 4x2 truck's locker to have any effect, you are depending on the ground traction to differ significantly within a span of 4-5 feet.

A detroit locker is loud in turns, because the clutch teeth are constantly slipping. Video of how it works:

Not 100% on this Ken but I'm pretty sure that for 1st gens if you had a Pre runner, you had a TRD & TRD's all had lockers IIRC...

 

No not all prerunners had them. Only if he has the TRD offroad package.

Either way to the OP. A locker will NEVER replace 4wd. Id trade the truck if you want 4wd and to do some offroading.

otherwise, Long Travel that truck up!

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well like i said ,not a 100% sure funny tho' every pre runner I've seen has had the TRD badges & Bullshit , probably just didn't notice & thanks for clarification Monte....

 

4wd Conversion!

 

What monte said haha. You can certainly get a pre runner without the OR package
