Regarding the rear locker in Toyotas... after pressing the rear lock button, you have to give it a little throttle. It's not sitting there "thinking." It's waiting for you to give it some gas. It needs some throttle (and slip between the rear wheels) for everything to lineup and engage in the differential.

@CarnutMM Жыл бұрын

I found it easier to engage then turn the wheel and go slightly. Needs each side of the axle to move at different speeds to so pin can slide into place. Locks in really quick this way.

@WW-wf8tu Жыл бұрын

Dig the facts about the tires. Not everyone knows that Toyota puts cheap tires on that look like regular factory brand tires. While my Dunlops are great, obviously the Falkens are knock offs. Awesome you mentioned the CC sand pit function as well. Great all around off road system testing. Demonstrated how capable it is. Even tho the last section seemed to make all of the systems look useless, fact is, the tires let it down. I have run into the very same things on my 4R TRD OR. It can do just about everything pretty good on the Dunlops, but like all tires, they have their weak points. As for those that say you put the right tires on even a fwd car and it can go up that stuff, wrong. Tires are a huge factor, but if your drive system is not up to the challenge, you will find that even the perfect tires will let you down. And or break something in the attempt.
