Those make great trail rigs. I hear people complain about power on them, and land cruisers too. But I don't get it. They have plenty of power as long as you aren't drag racing it. And if that's your thing, there are better options than a 5k pound 4wd.

I think the reasonable power is one of the reasons they run so many miles. HP is hard on everything.

Looks good, enjoy.

The center diff lock feature sends firm equal power to front and rear when engaged, but they’re still open differentials. The E locker totally locks the rear axel when it’s engaged. To the point you can’t even make a turn on pavement. It effectively gives you true 3 wheel drive.

Lockers are not very common.. But the way differentials work, your average 4x4 vehicle is realistically closer to 2wd, one front wheel and rear wheel, because the open differentials will always transfer the power toward the wheel with the least resistance. This gives the ability to make turns on pavement while 4x4 is engaged, among other things. It can also lead to you getting stuck in the trails where a locked diff will crawl right through muddy off-camber situations

Limited slip differential‘s are close to locked, but not the same either

Ok then yeah looks like I was reading it wrong. Center locking diff. Just had to watch a youtube lol.

A lot of people get that confused. When you see “diff lock” it makes most people think rear differential locker. I always wondered if it was a marketing trick.

Yeah. Went and took a pic of my door jam sticker, looks like I have 4.10s with the center locking diff.

Heck yeah! Good gear ratio

Locked differentials are a great feature, it can add to the collectibility of the old Toyotas, but if you’re not doing serious off Roading you’ll never need it.

Been wanting a 4x4 for awhile to mess with. Finally found a Toyota I like. 2001 4Runner SR5 4x4.

Not wanting to do anything super crazy, Probably just level it, put some 32's on it, and random other stuff.
