how hard can u drive with e-locker on

I have a 07 TRD Off Road taco and i was wondering when im out messing around at the desert i need the e-locker on but is it bad that im driving it over the 5 mph recommendation my average speed is around 15 to 30 mph.

 

go hard or go home!!!!!

 

That speed should be fine. Just use your brain and don't drive it balls to the wall.
Also, don't make sharp turns on immovable surfaces. Try to make them in sand, loose rock, dirt, etc.

 

The most critical time is in transition from unlocked to locked.
looking at the drawings, it seems to be engineered pretty well in the locked configuration.
I'll drive minimum maintenance roads 30-40Mph with it locked and I haven't had problems.
But true engineering tests for longevity is in-service use no matter what the computer models say!

 

when i had my prerunner.....as well as the locker in my 4x4 now......i drove on pastures and such up to 40 mph without a problem. just dont use the locker on pavement, and be sensible with it.

 

I accidently drove 75mph on highway for 30 miles with it engaged... Still going strong.

 

ok yea i only use the locker when im in loose dirt, sand, mud, etc so thanks for the feed back

 

ha ha ha. Me too. i am glad to hear that someone else did this. i was driving back from the dealership when i bought it new and the freaking locker button is right beside the fog lights. So being unfamilar with the set up i pressed the locker button, got on the highway and drive 17 miles home. I noticed once i got into my nieghborhood what i had done.
Still going strong 3.5yrs and 30k miles later.

 

Yeah, pretty embarrassing.

 

I think that it won't engage/lock unless you are going under 5 or 15mph, but once it's locked you can go as fast as you want... however, it will only engage in 4Lo on the TRD-OR (unless you modify the wiring/switch), and in my opinion if you need to drive faster than 15mph you probably don't need to be in 4Lo or have it locked. The PreRunners with lockers are 2wheeldrive and can be used/driven differently than the 4x4TRD
