Rear Diff Lock Anytime Mod 3rd Gen DEVELOPMENT

Yeah I think people are missing the point here, engaging the rear locker in 2Hi is for doing sweet drifts on gravel not any sort of practical advanced technical maneuvering.

 

Well shit! There goes an another $300 and an hour. Another option I do(n’t) need.

 

i ordered that plug and play kit if somebody wants to buy the stuff i bought to do this myself. oem fit switch, resistors, and diodes. im keeping the relay/fuse box for myself if i add other accessories later.

 

I want it so offramps and on ramps arent boring, and of course on forest roads. I've had spools my whole life, and its completely unnoticeable on the highway. I dont want some computer thinking it knows what it needs lol

 

Any thoughts on if this will work with a 2wd low harness:

looks like it plugs inline to the same harness. as long as it doesnt interfere with the same wires the 2low mod then maybe. youd have to ask them if they know

 

I sent them a message too.

 

he replied and said its not compatible but he is working on a add on his own 2lo mod that adds to this one that is compatible

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Well that’s a bummer, saved me some dollars though. It would be nice if he could have two options, one to support existing 2lo, and one that has it as an option.

$300 for the anytime, and probably at least another $100 for the 2lo add on… starting to talk about some real change now.

 

I tested this product and can tell you there are many benefits to having the ability to lock your diff in 2WD or even 4WD high. So it’s not only for sweet drifts although that part is fun. All our testing was done on stock suspension, tire, and tire pressure. I barely ever needed 4wd if the diff was locked in 2WD, only when i was going up very gravely steep inclines here out in the west coast desert. I did not need 4WD and i still didn’t have to go into LOW gear.


This is also made for people who don’t want to hack up their harnesses or people who aren’t necessarily good with that type of install. This is very easy to install.

 

No sir, it will not be. It will only be around $20-30 for the add on. And right now the AnyTime Locker with shipping cost is $259.94

 

I guess i should say that i haven’t tested it with the 2Lo mod as i don’t have that mod so it is possible that it works with it.

If the guy that sells the 2Lo mod wants to work together and see if they work together i will gladly work with him.

 

Well, I’m probably in at that price. Might get a few bucks outa my current setup.

 

I did reach out to the guy that makes the 2Lo mod to see if we can work together and make these work together, so we will see if he wants to or not.

 

If you shot me (and/or @lapoltba ) a schematic, we can probably determine if it is likely/unlikely to interfere, and which should likely need to be installed into the ECU first.

(I developed the DIY 2low mod, and @lapoltba developed a commercialized version)

Before actually testing it of course. Likewise if you looked at the schematic of the 2lo mod (see my signature, you should be able to make some similar educated guesses.

Note, I think it VERY likely that there will be no interference either way...

 

I sent an email through the website i don’t know if that is the you or the other guy.

 

That's @lapoltba
If you want any input from me, shoot me a dm and I will give you my email (if you want)

 

Okay after looking at the diagrams and the 2Lo harness it looks like we do not use the same pins besides 4 and 10 power and ground. So in theory they should work together. We would see a little voltage drop but not very much.

 

Sounds good.
Just thinking logically about what pins your system is interfacing, I dont think it should matter if it is installed before or after 2lo (most likely without seeing schematics).
