rear diff locking when mudding?

i like to play with my truck in the mud but never deep mud and ive never used my rear diff lockers. should i be using them? and if i do will i be able to go in deeper mud?

 

It will help, but if you lose momentum... your done for.

 

wut happens if u go past 5mph? just wonderin cause it says not to

 

You move faster.

 

umm maybe a stupid question but how do you kno when it locks all the way?

 

The light on the dash becomes solid and not blinking or off.

 

You hear a clunk sound too. I go off that more then the dash.

 

hahahahahhaha nice man

OP: I did the grey wire mod where mine works in 2wd now. Ive driven like 40 in snow. Only difference is its locked obviously and if you turn on dry pavement you'll ef it up and its harder to turn.

 

Well thats the only thing that happens.

 

One way to know if your diff. locks....

Use it or loose it!

The 5 mph warning is because lockers affect steering and Toyota doesn't need you sueing them because you were stupid and drove into a tree because you tried to turn sharp, while locked, going too fast.

 

youll get more traction but not as much as 4x4, just go as deep as u want but when ur stuck have someone to pull u out

 

exactly^^ you can hit it a little slower while locked but not as slow as a 4x4 could...
