Check out this video for a detailed TORQ Locker installation video for the Toyota Tacoma 8" Clamshell Front Differential. We also go over how the locker works and some other common questions.
I have a 2011 tacoma i wanted to put this in. But one company selling your locker said if installing in a 4.0l 05-15 i would have to change my carrier to a 2.7l carrier from a 3rd gen? Shouldnt it work in all carriers for 05-up?
We have a rear locker available for older 4Runners, but not newer than 2001. Here's the fitment for the model in the video: Fitment: 2003 - 2022 Toyota 4Runner 2015 - 2022 Toyota Fortuner 2003 - 2009 Toyota Hilux Surf 2005 - 2022 Toyota Tacoma 4wd 2007 - 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser 2005 - 2022 Toyota Hilux Pickup
My Land Cruiser Prado 98 diesel has the H=High speed box (70% power in the rear, 30% in the front) HL= High speed Lock Differential (50% rear, 50% forward) LL= Low speed Lock Differential (for extreme conditions), is it possible to install TORQ Locker??
These lockers cause the front drive shaft to spin at all times when moving even in 2wd. Will this damage the transfer case having the drive shaft spin while not engaged in 4wd?
No, you don't have to adjust backlash at all. You don't touch the pinion. That's the beauty of this type of locker, easy to install. We like to say, if you can change the brakes on a car, you have the mechanical ability to install a TORQ Locker.
@@TorqMastersIndustries How does the TORQ locker affect daily drivability? Just Keep it in 2hi? Toyota does recommend putting my Tacoma in 4hi once a month to keep things lubricated. Im just concerned if having the front diff locked while driving will cause any issues. Thanks for the replies
@@joshlopez9913 Normal daily driving in 2WD will feel the same as an open differential, no lock up at all in 2WD. You can use 4WD with a front locker on the road if needed in deep snow. One of your front axle shafts is always turning, that keeps things lubricated. I don't see a need to shift into 4wd once a month, we don't do that with any of our vehicles.
I imagine its similar to any other lunch box style mechanical locker. IME I would not put a lunch box in the front of a vehicle that I drive regularly in the snow. I had a lunchbox in the front of a rig years ago and it would pull side to side and power though (understeer) corners in the snow. In the rear lunch box lockers are far less noticeable.
Bought it, installed it and it works but will not disengage for the love of God. Did the clearance test and one tire test and seems to disengage but will not disengage while driving doing figure eights. I'm taking it out for an front arb locker. Stick with selectable if your rig is not a dedicated trail rig.
