4x4 shifter

How come my 2001 tacoma TRD off road don’t have a 4x4 shifter? It has the RR diff lock switch.

 

because it isn't 4wd

You have a Prerunner, they came with the TRD package with E-locker as an option. Prerunners were 2wd trucks built on the 4x4 frame, same look but with no front drivetrain.

 

this reminds me of a post I saw a long time ago on another forum where someone bought a Wrangler not realizing it was one of the odd 2wd ones they used to make in the mid 2000s

 

So it has the RR diff lock switch and I see the connected front/rear drive trains but it isn’t 4WD?

 

Show us a photo of underneath the front end

 

You can see the transfer case and a driveshaft going to a front diffrential?

 

You have a two wheel drive

Please don't tell me you bought it thinking it was four wheel drive

 

Wow. So the most useless vehicle ever? All the junk with no fun?

 

yeah it was just one trim I think for a couple years. Maybe they were trying it out like the Tacoma Prerunner kind of, but the whole Wrangler identity is so wrapped up in the fact that it's 4wd I don't think people really bought into it.

 

Is this the drive shaft?

 

Its the rear one. Take a pic from the front under the engine.

 

Nice looking Taco BTW. Seems clean.

 

that's your rear driveshaft and I don't see a transfer case...its 2wd

 

Thanks everyone for the clarification!

 

The things connected to your front wheels that kinda look like front axels are the tire rods for steering. But yeah looks like a 2WD. Is this a friday post?

Its a beauty truck tho!

 

Nice truck and frankly technique and tires especially with a rear locker will get you almost everywhere.

 

I thought you died?

 

well, I got better
