NICE! Congrats!

so, does it have the magic dial to the left of the steering wheel (lockers)???

you need to check out www.ultimateyota.com and www.ih8mud.com

we have a '00 cruiser (wife's grocery getter), and i'm picking up another '99 4Runner next week to play with (sold my last one - www.4rnr.net for pics/info).

what are center lockers? i know about front lockers and rear lockers, but i have never heard of center lockers.

i refered to it as a center locker i meant to say center differential some people call it the center locker,it locks the transfer case and gives 50% power to the front and rear
