    I bought an 06 Tacoma TRD Sport last week. I just noticed that there is no rear diff lock switch on the dash panel. It has 4 wheel drive and everything. Am I missin something? Did some not come with the option?

    Yeah...Ditto. The stock locker requires a different rear axle and the work to wire it plus paying for OEM parts.
    The ARB air locker is still expensive but not nearly as much...and it doesn't require a whole new rear end.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Plus the benefit of on-board air.

    Thanks I'll do that.

    Though it will have to wait awhile because my credit card is currently a molten pool of plastic after all the crap I've been buying for the new rig!
