    negative...locker up front on IFS = broke :eek:

    you'll be open diff in the front unless you buy something modified already...depending on the year its possible that you'll have locking hubs...but no locking diff up front

    open diff...no locker...no lsd...meaning if theres anything preventing one wheel from spinning (such as a rock or stump or its just bound up) the other one will spin mercilessly

    same would occur in the rear without the locker engaged

    **EDIT**
    the front would drive both wheels as long as there is nothing preventing the wheel/tire from spinning

    mine is both...sr5 and trd...plus the fancy smancy trd color matched flares :D

    as far as any problems when wheeling...i ran all over URE on a dry day and only had to engage my locker once...and that was pre suspension...pre sliders...pre bumpers

    easy to mid stuff will be no problem as long as you have a decent spotter, an easy foot, and some sense

    ive also wheeled most of gulches in stock to semi stock form as well as harlan , ky (only had bumpers...no lift)

    with a 4x4 and a locker you'll be able to go a LOT of places...

    sweet!! definitely hoping for a true trd then. and actually....i think thats what the salesman said it was......so hopefully he wasnt just talking!!


    then again.....there is always the arb air locker!!! expensive as hell...........but worth it i think!! that would be a birthday/christmas and birthday again....all wrapped into one present!!! i could deal!!:D

    hopefully......i'll have the trd though!!

    Wil tell the dealer to throw in the timing belt job (you know they can eat the labor) maybe they'll do it to make the sale

    I bought mine with 103k. I said I wouldn't buy it unless they did the Timing belt, water pump, and few other odds and ends....they took care of it. It would have been a deal breaker if they wouldn't have done the work.
