Locker in 4HI or Part-Time???
 
Fellas,

Is there anyway to modify the rear diff. locker to work in 4 HI or even Part-Time 4x4?

My brother-in-law has a Tacoma TRD that did the same thing....quick fix, just had to add a ground wire.

Has someone figured out how to do this for the H2?

Why would you want to lock the diff in 4hi or even bigger question part time???? Its not a limited slip but a straight locker (like a spool on a race car). Driving like that (unless you are on loose or slipperty ground) is not good for truck and it would make the front end shove badly during cornering/turning which our rigs already do bad enough because of thier weight.

I suppose if you really want to do it there is gotta be a way to bypass it but the real question is why?

I understand your response and I used to think the same thing.

That was until my brother in law modified his Tacoma to enable him to use his locker anytime (2wd, 4hi, etc...) and man, I loved the versatility it gave him.

Has anyone out there tackled this?

i am planing on doing this as well.

there are many times in 4HI i would like it locked to help get out. and no i wouldnt drive down the road with it locked.

but there are times when i am climbing something and a front wheel comes off the ground, i reach up and hit my front air locker, lock up the front end and drive off. it would be nice to do the same for the rear.

i have not done it yet, but it is an elocker, so it shouldnt be much more then putting a 12v hit to the locker. a wire and a switch and done.

Sounds to me like if you need the extra traction for a situation you should shift out of 4 Hi.
