2009 rear locker

so i was searching and couldnt find anything about it so i thought i would just ask real quick. i have a 09 trd off road with the locker but i was wondering if i could have the locker on without having the 4wd on?
thanks for the help

 

i think so. doesnt the locker just lock the rear? front stays open?

 

no you must be in 4 low

Look up the grey wire mod. I think it's a little different in 09s though. Something to do with the ATRAC. I didn't bother cause I like 4 Lo just fine.

 

thats what happens when a prerunner answers a 4x4's question haha

 

If you're stuck enough or doing something burly enough that you'll want the locker on, then you'll probably want to be in 4Lo anyway...

 

Just use the LSD if needed in 2wd... press the vsc button once...

 

thats odd that i can only have the locker when in 4lo. almost seems pointless to have a locker. i will be using the lsd so much more.

 

why would you need a locker in 4 hi? i dont have a 4x4 but anything at that speed, wouldnt momentum just get you through it?

 

ya i just would like to lock the back but have the front open. i think a lot of people would

 

I've only needed the locker while offroad in 4LO...

Pointless to have a locker until you need it...

I use the LSD when needed or just flip the switch to 4HI...

The locker combined with ATRAC has taken me places I couldn't have gone otherwise...

I love all the options on my '09 TRD OR 4x4, and I've used/needed them quite often here in the CO mountains...

 

You're a bad man. My truck is on jack stands in the driveway and hasn't seen a dirt road since before Thanksgiving

 

I believe an ARB Locker would be a nice addition to my prerunner. I have had mostly 4x4 trucks in my past, and with a locked rear in my 2WD I feel I could most of the stuff I needed 4x4 with.

 

The off-roads have limited slip AND the locker?

 

Auto Limitied Slip- Uses brake controlling to mimic a mechanical LSD...Just the 09/10 models.

 

Why?? If you are locked in the rear your turning radius is limited by that- so what does it matter if the front is engaged or not?? (I think that diff is always open unless you put an aftermarket locker in it....)

 

TRD Off Road/ rear locker
TRD Sport/ LSD rear
09-10's have computered controlled "LSD" rear ends, which is the same as all trucks without a locked rear. So you get both options with the off road

 

I'd like to see the locker active in 4hi. My dad's silverado tears the mud with his Z71 package. I'd also like to see the locker available in the sport DC long beds...

 

i guess i just assumed that you could lock up the rear without putting it in 4wd like the frontier. all well still a good truck over all..

A search would have brought you to you answer,as for it working in an 09 I dont see why not,your just fooling the locker computer that you are in 4lo.There is also a no cut wire method but i didnt bother with that.I just like having the option
