Lockers are electric. If they do not engage there is a write up on how to take them apart and clean the whole thing out. Otherwise, a new locker motor is like $800.
If you drive it and the lockers don't work I would call a dealer in front of him and get a price to get a new motor - then take that off the price of the truck Then go and fix them yourself.

No, I got thwarted on two levels. Primarily I lost the buyer on my truck after he said he wanted it and gave me a price I accepted.
Second, due to the age of the cruiser, the bank would only give me a three year loan. But because they hold their value so much, the payments would be like buying a new vehicle.
If I could afford that I wouldn't be buying a 93 cruiser......
Oh well.

Don't know if any of you have seen this, but I think you'll start to see more and more 80 series trucks and/or 80 series parts on the trails in the future as their prices come down.
This is actually a project Christo Slee has been working on. Basic idea is to convert an 80 series to a Pick-up style trail rig.

Is there a serious issue with aftermarket airfilters and the 80 series in general (I know its just an airfilter, and seems trivial). I see a relatively large amount of discussion on the yahoo group about this, but don't really get exactly what the issue is so I can't interpret the post very well. I've only glance under the hood so far.
Is there a filter and a pre-filter?
The group seemed against K&N's?
And it seemed they were mostly suggesting to buy toyota OEM filters exclusively. So I can't go buy Fram or some other aftermarket???

I use a TRD reuseable filter (K&N type) without problem. I haven't been following the group lately so I don't know the nature of the dicussion - but I believe any paper/foam filter would be fine. Just remember that 50% of the people on the yahoo list have superchargers so they may be referring to something that effect S/C cruisers.

TRD being a Toyota Racing Development product???
Where did you buy that and how is it priced compared to the somewhat spendy K&N?
I've used K&N's on the Ford. The only thing I don't like, is no matter what I do, it does't "SEEM" as if its cleaning up as its supposed to. Anyone else use these and like'em?
Do you go thru the Oil/Clean regime with the TRD filter, and how often?

I got it from a guy on the list that sold parts super cheap (Bullbar shipped $450) - he is no longer around so you might try one of the other guys on the list for a good price.
I haven't serviced if since I bought it several months ago.

If you're looking for OEM product (although, I do think he does some TRD stuff too) the cheapest I've found ha been John Hocker. A real cruiser guy and good prices, and no sales tax.
