    Ok so i was wondering if it is possible to add LSD or some kind of traction control for less than buying a locker for my truck. Id like to do stock LSD because it would be less of a headache i would think... I have a 2007 Prerunner bare minimum (no options whatsoever) ive been slowly adding things to do what i want it to. Cruise, fogs in next month, and wiper switch... I know i have the plug behind the panel for where the LSD switch would go but i havent traced all the wireing back... any help would be great! thank you

    So you are sure your truck doesnt have a lsd from the factory? If not you could put one in. They arent cheap though.

    Check the diff (rear) and see if it says anything about using an LSD addative. If not, you probably don't have an LS Diff, and can add one, like a Detroit Tru track.

    All the buttons, and electronics didn't replace the mechanical LSD's till 2009.

    How about finding the whole axle assembly from a junk yard.
