Could be a center diff lock also? I'm not too fimiliar with the 4runners

Looks like the orange writing in the correct area for it to be equipped with the factory locker.

Yup, looks like the right button in the right spot. :thumbup:

It's a 3rd gen, limited with an auto. Most of these (like high 90%'s) had the locker. '97's did not have a center diff lock.

This one too perhaps.

Same thing. All 4wd 96-00 limited I've seen have a locker. I think you could have ordered it without but it seemed like dealers checked all the boxes on the limiteds.

to my knowledge there is no center diff in 4 runners until at least the 99-00 Limiteds...

Ok. when did they put a center diff lock in there? I think charles (calrockx) had one of those in his truck...

I swore I had a good post about this question somewhere.

The concept of center diff lock started in 99 on the limited model 4runners.
In 99-00 the way the center diff was locked was manually by pulling back on the 4wd stick,
in 01 all models switched over to the t-case with center locking diff however instead of pulling back on the stick you pushed a button on the dash which is located were the rear diff lock button would go on the older 3rd gens.

Hope that helps clarify
