Hi there all , this serves as my introduction and my first question.
Name Andre , 2 boys ( 0.5 and 3 years ) 2nd Wife ( best one !!) and new Hilux 3.0 DC 4x4 AT. ( first 4x4) Live in Midrand and looking for ward to getting away a lot with the clan.
My question is this: I have seen a lot of talk about the diff lock mod ( being able to use diff lock in 4H 2H etc ) I would like to know if anyone has done this mod to the A/T and if it affected the gear changes ?

Welcome to the forum. There definitely was talk about how to bypass it but this will void your manufacturers warranty.oxo wrote:Hi there all , this serves as my introduction and my first question.

Hi Andre and welcome! As Cassie mentioned, true. There was a write up about it somewhere for overseas not sure if it was here on the Forum... will have a look later for it and post if I can find it

Hi Andre, and welcome! Question .... why would you want to use diff-lock in 4H & 2H? 
Question .... why would you want to use diff-lock in 4H & 2H? When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: Hello and diff lock mod
Lets say you get to a little axle twister that doesnt need 4 x 4 ?? I had a ford ranger 4x2 with diff lock and was ammazed where you can go with just a diff lock. Would like to be able to use it without putting the van in 4 x4.Mud Dog wrote:Hi Andre, and welcome!

Re: Hello and diff lock mod
I would also like to use the diff lock in hi range but my question is why toyota say that you may not exeed 8km/h.Here in the dunes it's nice to have a diff lock but you need to travel at speeds of up to 80 or more sometimes to crest a dune
