    Hello,

    We have a customer who is using his 2008 Reg Cab 4x4 Tacoma as a tug rig for pulling a trailer slowly offroad/onroad. His question:

    Is there a way to have 4wd engaged, and temporarily disable the front axle. I'm not 100% sure I understand his reasoning/idea, nevertheless, I'm looking into the idea for him.

    Thoughts welcome.

    Thanks!

    I need to clarify with him today if he's trying to accomplish the 2lo mod, or something different. Thanks for the reminder! I've seen this before, but didn't think that he might be referring to this mod.

    Thanks :thumbsup:

    id bet hes trying to do 2lo, no other reason to need to disconnect the front axle.

    Are you running the 2lo mod, nd4?
