I have a 2006 DC 4x4 TRD. I know it has the rear diff-lock button, but when I don't have the rear diff locked, is it an open differential or is it limited-slip? I would assume an open diff, but I would like to know for sure. Thanks for any help.
nope. totally open when it's not locked. this is why for most people, the LSD is better. the locker isn't really for slippery road conditions, the LSD will help a lot with them.checkster said:I thought the OR had a limited slip pus a locker for low range?
Exactly. The Frontier simulates LSD by applying brakes to the slipping wheel.05XRunner said:there is no such thing as having both units in one diff. the only way is having that simulated LSD where the brakes are applied to the rear wheels to simulate a LSD..you can not have a mechanical LSD in the diff with a LOCKER
4-Wheel Limited Slip (ABLS)
Active Limited Slip senses a wheelspin of a drive wheel and automatically applies brakes to the slipping wheel(s), redirecting power to the wheel(s) with the best traction.
sure you can, just not in this particular unit05XRunner said:you cant have both of those in one unit anyway..one or the other
You mean like the grey wire mod?05TacoTRD said:It would be nice to be able to lock the rear differential when in 2WD. I know that their are several write-ups on this modification for earlier model Tacomas. Has anyone seen this write-up for the 05-06 Tacomas yet? If so, please point me in the right direction. It would be much appreciated.
By the way, I just wanted to introduce myself and my truck. Its a 2005 4X4 Tacoma Access cab with the TRD off-road package. I'm sure I'll be on this forum often, sharing and getting mod ideas.
Show me..Unless you got some HUGE diff thats a from like a duece n half.mikeg281 said:sure you can, just not in this particular unit

Never said one existed I just said it is possible. And size is not the issue it's practicality05XRunner said:Show me..Unless you got some HUGE diff thats a from like a duece n half.
Or somekinda unit that is custom built somehow...I wanna see one that has both a Mechanical LSD and a Locker in the Diff
