Hi
I've a 75 series with f/r lockers. Can I use a limited slip rear with the locker.
Cheers

Donald,
You can put in a limited slip differential, but you lose the locker. Not a great swap IMO. What is wrong with the locker that is in there? Is it factory? Detroit Differential makes the Electrac, a limited slip that can be locked, but they don't make one that fits the Landcruiser.

Hmmm. Though a limited slip would help with traction a little, I don't see it helping all that much when you've already got a locker in there... If you start loosing traction, turn on the locker. I guess an LSD would help more with road driving though. But hell, it's a 75, why would you drive it on th road?

Get out the wiring diagram and diddle up a switch to only lock the rear. Then you can use it in 2wd.
Toyota does have an LSD available for your vehicle but they are not that good.

The std switch has a sequential setup (?) rear first then front.
The question I have is do you need to go into 4x4 to activate the rear locker using the std switch?? ???
yes but you can modify it(if its likea a 80 series) to work in high range and maybe without even locking the hubs.
