    egggg-zacttlleeyyy.. lol

    no that's not why, 1 rear locker and a winch it good enough for me. Just a matter of choice....

    oh and forgot to say the front locker button should be located in the bed outside behind a jerry can. lol.

    It’s a toyota. I found that most of the seals were fine. Just the pinion ones were iffy so for the price I bought a rebuilt kit. I didn’t change two or three seals because it would have required taking the entire case right apart

    You are now at the point of bypassing the 4wd ECU and making the dash lights work with those blue sensors.

    You should be using the connectors from the fj case. They should plug directly into the Tacoma sensors
