    Sure I don' see why not. Depending on what you want to put in there. The options are almost endless

    You will not have a electronic locker prewired in there. You will have to add that yourself. as far as the DAC someone else will have to answer that for you, but if you didnt buy your truck with it i dont think theres a easy way to wire it in yourself.

    If you remove the pull down cubby to the left of the steering wheel then yank it towards you, you can poke out the blank switches. Then you can buy your own off Amazon.

    You could add a locker and put a switch there to control it, but you’d have to buy the locker and do the wiring. There are some things people say are prewired, but that’s more like back up cameras, heated seats, things like that.

    You can put switches in there to control whatever you want, but rather than butcher your truck with universal switches, buy custom switches that say anything you want, from either CH4X4 or Air On Board. They are made to fit in those holes. Lights, air locker, compressor, whatever you want.

    The RR you refer to is the electronically locking rear differential. This makes the rear tires spin at the same time as each other when it is fully engaged. Adding this would require replacement of the third member and adding an electronic actuator. Quite costly.

    @Guate chapin

    eyy, I just recently added some buttons to my 2009 tacoma, I dont have the trd options like the inverter or the diff lock so i bought some of these buttons online and added a bunch of offroad lights. the blanks popped out and it was prewired for the fogs for sure not sure what the other wire plug is for.
