Yes. This is transparent to lockers, TRD locker included, if you have already done the "gray wire" locker mod.
I been waiting way too long to try this out. Just want to clearify that if you haven't done the grey wire locker mod, your TRD locker will not engage.

Although 2wd lo is great for teaching others to drive a 5sp. :)

With the switch in the up position, it grounds out the gray wire for the locker mod, allowing the locker to function in all xfer case positions. I did that so that if someone else drives my truck, the locker cannot be accidentally engaged while they are on road

Sorry, I know you are probably sick of talking about this mod. The switch is a good idea but I read that you still have to be below 5 mph to actually engage the locker. Is this true? I mean isnt that the reason why rewiring their lock to a seperate 12v switch?

To be perfectly clear, the switch goes to ground, not to 12 volts...

Yes, you still have to be below 5mph to engage or disengage the locker. Beyond that, I am not sure I understand your question.

Yes you are right. I meant this switch from this company:

A double pole, double throw switch.

I am confused about where you are confused. Locking and unlocking the locker over 5mph is really hard on it. Yes, you could bypass the stock ECU all together and install that switch, but it still not a going to be a good idea to lock it over 5mph, so all you have done is removed the safety factor the stock ECU provides.

The switch I was referring to doesn't replace the stock switch, just enables it. Off the locker only works in 4-lo, on and the locker works in all positions. But, the engaged disengage safety remains in effect. Of course, once it's engaged, it will remain thus at any speed...
I apologize for the confusion. What I meant was that with the seperate switch hooked up to the locker, you can by pass the some time trouble some stock switch. Because as stated in the rear lock mod section http://www.ttora.com/wiki/index.php/Rear_Locker, you sometimes have roll forward or reverse for a short distance before the locker engages.


I never intend to engage my locker at speeds
