4 Wheel Drive/SUVs: Toyota front locking hubsthe, toyota of glen burnie, downey off road

Question
Is it possible to replace the stock front differential hubs on a 1994 Landcruiser with full time 4WD and manual locking hubs. I would like to tow this vehicle behind my motorhome so I need to disengage the front driveline. I can use a driveshaft disconnect kit to handle the rear driveshaft. Do you have any advice on how to handle the front?

Thank You

Answer
Michael,

I'm sure that this can be done, you just need to remember to lock in the hubs when you are done towing.  Most full time 4WD systems will not provide power to the rear differential with the front differential disconnected.

I would contact the following companies to verify that this conversion can be done on your vehicle:
