Locker Recommendations

Toyota 4Runners are extremely capable off-road even in base form. Modern 4Runners produce enough power and have extremely advanced traction control systems that rarely require any gear or locker upgrades with tires up to 33" tall. For extreme off-road applications a set of ARB air lockers and aftermarket gears are recommended.

* To replace the factory electic locker, a non-elocker 3rd member is required. The new locker would then wire into the factory harness.

• Due to how well the factory traction control system works on this generation of Toyota SUVs, lockers are generally only needed for the most extreme off-road applications.
