How to tell if there are factory lockers on 100 series

[aaronrules]

Hey guys...totally new to posting around here. I am eyeing either a 100 series Land Cruiser or 4Runner. When I am looking at pics online of used Land Cruisers, none of them say if there are factory lockers or not, and I need to know what I am looking for in the pics. Or any other info that will tell if there are lockers. Thanks for any help!

There will be a dial to the left of the steering wheel. It will say "FR/RR on it. if it has aftermarket lockers it will have a rocker switch somewhere in the vicinity.

I think it was only the 99 model that had a rear locker option. Maybe the 2000 too, but definitely not 2001 or newer.

If aftermarket, they'd be an idiot not to state it in the ad. Aftermarket is not cheap at all.

'98-99 were the years with a rear locker only.

Ohhhh...so a 2004 LC WON'T have lockers? This is the LC in question:

100 series, not 80.

An ad for a 2000+ LC or LX that references lockers would probably be talking about the center diff lock button in the center cluster. All 2000+ will have ATRAC, which is a great system.

100 series, not 80.

Same dial as the 80 in the 100, just has RR only, no FR.

Hence he said fr/rr and I reminded him it was a 100 not an 80

No locker on that one... But dont let a locker deter you. They are pretty capable with ATRAC and adding ARB lockers are better any way.

I'd much rather have ATRAC with ARB lockers than locker(s) and no ATRAC. It's a great system.

I am really liking this rig. It's going to come down to either a built 4Runner that is for sale on this forum or this dude. It's a hard choice, might have to come down to financing. No I go read up on ATRAC, so I am not a complete idiot.

maybe this will help your choice:
