Gearmax
Te danke aan Hoppy kan ek ook nou spog met n gearmax difflock.
More gou die vacuum pyp, solenoid en drade opkoppel.
En dan natuurlik gaan TOETS

Re: Gearmax
Just fit a little LED warning indicator that lights up when it's on ... otherwise you never know if the switch has been bumped and accidentally engaged. There is a terminal for this purpose at the diff itself that earths when the locker engages.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: Gearmax
You might be able to get from a dealer, you could also try breaker yards. I imagine that Gearmax should also keep something similar if not original Toyota, or al least advise where to get.
This is what it looks like ........
The first indicator (red) glows when the switch is activated - the second one (green) lights when the locker kicks in at the diff. When one switches off to disengage the locker the green one might still remain on if the diff is under a bit of wind-up stress and the locker cannot disengage. As soon as the wind-up is relieved the locker kicks out and the light goes off - This is particularly handy if you've switched off coming onto a hard surface, to avoid damage.
