I have the non-push button, 4cyl add tacoma and I did the two low mod. My driveshaft still spins. It worked really well until I locked the front end. Now I can still unlock one wheel, but my driver side wheel always spins. So that essentially turned it into a 3-low mod. It does make turning a little easier and helps a little bit when traversing across an incline.

Find that writeup yet becuase I sure cant and would like it... even some info from an FSM would work for me.

There's a light blue plug that comes out of the passenger side of your transfer case. It has two wires, I just interrupted one of them with a switch. I actually went and got a push button shift knob from a scrap yard and used that as my switch.

How and to where did you run the wires? I would like to do this mod. Thanks for your help!

I just ran the wires up the top of the transfer case and up the shift lever. Just take caution to make sure they are strapped out of the way of moving parts. I also put some wire loom over them to help protect from heat.

I had my transmission out today and played with the wires to see if it made a difference. You can cut and splice a switch into either one of the wires that go through the bright blue plug on the passenger side and it will still work.

ok ive done the grey wire mod....i also just got my 99TRD outa back from the dealership for blowin up the rear diff NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LOCKER MOD....(but dont drop the clutch hard and fast at redline instead of the tires flying...parts do) anyways the warranty'd it and all was well. with 3 months left on my waranty im slow to make changes. Has anyone with the non push button actually been running the 2WD-Lo mod? and can someone explain exactly how this mod works..cant u just do a wire mod to the hubs so they dont lock? and let the driveshaft spin? or is that bad. also if i do this mod...any danger of fuckin anything up? besides flippin the switch at speeds? bla bla more info would be nice. Also i find the grey wire mod very useful....but where would i find 2WD low useful? tryin to think of circumstances...however if i go lock-rite up front...then i could use it as a toggle switch so i could turn tighter...so that'd make sense, but why else?
thx alot for answers i get

With this mod on the non push-button transfer case the driveshaft still spins. All it's doing is interupting the signal that tells the vac system to engage the front axle. I have been running it for about a year with and without a locker in the front. I enjoyed the 2low on some trails that didn't require 4wd, but the control of the low range was nice to have. After locking the front end it is NO LONGER a 2 low mod. It essentially makes it a 3low mod as your front driverside tire will be engaged when you engage the transfer case. The push button then just allows you to control whether your front passenger side is engaged or not.
