Locking diff on a 2011 trd sport 4x4

I got a 2011 tocoma trd sport 4x4 and i didnt realilze it came with limited slip is there a way taht i can get a lock diff on it and change it out for the slip?

 

Yeah I know theres a way you can do it. Someone will chime in.

 

Buy an aftermarket air locker (ARB, etc).

And do your research before you buy next time.

 

it was present i didnt want to be picky

 

it was a present*

 

OK, then there wasn't much you can do about that.

But yeah, aftermarket lockers are your best bet.

 

i have to buy the LSD?

 

No, there is a button on the left side of your dash next to your steering wheel that says "TRAC" or something of that nature, is there not? Push that and you should see a light come on that says "AUTO LSD"

 

Read your owner's manual. They don't put it in the truck as a paperweight; believe it or not it will actually tell you things about the truck you now own.

Before you buy an aftermarket locker, assess whether you really need one or not. 90% of the guys on here with a locker don't wheel hard enough to actually need one.

 

WHA??!! A voice of reason?! I thought lockers were mandatory if you had a truck?



OP: Listen to this guy. He speaks the truth.

 

ohh ok and leave that on forever basicly

 

lol...no, don't just leave it on forever. In fact, I wouldn't ever hit that button unless you were on some slippery surface. Just leave the button alone and you'll have traction control on, which will be fine 99% of the time.

 

in my part of texas theres dirt clay thats very hard to get out of when wet especialy when turning im sure i would want the locker my 93' chevy blazer with 4x4 got stuck going about 35 mph

 

better safe than almost sorry

 

I've had my Sport 4x4 (with the LSD) through some thick, wet Kansas clay on the stock Dueler HT tires, and never even got close to stuck. Just sayin'.

EDIT: I don't even think a locker's strength is in the mud anyways, is it? (someone with more experience can chime in here)

 

really? mhmm intresting i can prob save money get the a bull gaurd on it then

 

Or if you're really worried, you can put that money towards some A/T tires that will do even better in the clay and mud and will improve the looks of your truck.

 

well isnt that what the limited slip does anyway?
