Front digs with Toy cases ? Please elaborate.

It's a mechanical rear driveshaft disconnect that mounts to the tail housing of the rear t case.



When you shift the lever forward(that zinc coated? tab on left) it disengages the rear driveshaft from t case output. I've noticed that some people aren't familiar with this add on. If you interested in learning more about them or obtaining one, do a web search for Rear Drive Disconnect, For Toyotas

Nice, where did you find that?

[yjay]

Wow. Never seen one before. Thought you needed a D300 or aftermarket case for that. Really cool.

what's the purpose? why have it?

[Yota87Truck]

Here's my DD

98 Tacoma TRD 4.5" lift 31's, tool box, cb radio, hella off road lights, push bar, custom mesh grill, decent sound system with subs.

[Yeagley]

 
1984 SR5. EFI swap, bed bobed 12", 5.29s, locked front and rear, flat belly, duals with 4.7s, Wheelbase stretched to 108", 16 mpg, drives 100-200 miles a day to get me to work and does 70 mph full of gear up the freeway to the Rubicon

So you can do burn turns for one, with the rear driveshaft disengaged and park brake set, you can turn on a dime with just the front wheels turning. Works great if you're in a tight spot and don't want to or can't back up like on a steep climb and say your front end just slid out of the the line you were trying to run. Also, if you're getting to vertical on a climb and your front tires start lifting off the rocks, you can do the same to help pull the front back down. With the rear disconnected and locked, the front wheels will hunt for traction and "dig" your tuck back into the obstacle.

Thanks! All three of those pics are of the same vehicle to clear up any confusion.
