80 100 Series Land Cruiser Locker Upgrades

Factory differential lockers are one of the best features on an 80 Series or 100 Series Land Cruiser, and one of the most common things we see stop working. Many trucks we buy and service have lockers that won't engage, won't disengage, or have a dash light that doesn't come on. Instead of tearing everything out for aftermarket air lockers, we focus on getting your factory diff locks working the way Toyota

Land Cruiser lockers are tough, but after 20 to 30 years the parts that control them wear out. The most common problems we find are:

Most of the time the locker itself is fine, and it just needs the right repair to engage again.

 

Many 80 Series Land Cruisers came with factory front and rear lockers. We diagnose and repair both, whether the fix is replacing worn parts or tracking down and repairing wiring issues. Once they're working again, you get the full traction your 80 Series was built for on the trail.

The factory rear locker was offered on 1998 to 2000 100 Series Land Cruisers, and these lockers also need service as they age. We specialize in repairing them and know exactly where to look when one stops working.

If your 100 Series didn't come with a locker, or yours is beyond repair, we have complete rear axle assemblies with the factory rear locker ready to swap into 1998 to 2002 Land Cruisers. It's a clean, factory-style way to add a locker without going aftermarket.
