Why the Anytime Locker Mod is the Must-Have Upgrade for Your Off-Road Toyota

When you're halfway up a rocky trail or digging through deep sand, there's nothing more frustrating than knowing your rig could power through—if only your locker would engage. That’s why the Anytime Locker mod for Toyota trucks is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about upgrades in the overland and off-road community.

At PAKRAX, we build gear for drivers who don’t want limitations—and this mod puts control back where it belongs: in your hands.

What Is the Anytime Locker Mod?

Toyota’s factory settings only allow rear locker engagement in 4Low under specific speed conditions. That might work for the average weekend warrior, but for those who push their trucks harder, this restriction can mean the difference between conquering a trail or getting stuck.

The PAKRAX Anytime Locker mod gives you manual control of your factory rear locker, letting you activate it in 2WD, 4Hi, or 4Lo, and at virtually any speed. Whether facing an uphill boulder field or trying to straighten out a rear slide in the snow, this mod ensures your locker is ready when you need it, not just when the factory says so.

We currently have the Anytime Locker available for the Toyota Tacoma, Tundra and Sequoia 

Why It’s a Game Changer for Overlanders and 4x4 Enthusiasts

Real-world scenarios are where this mod shines:

• Tackling slick rock in Moab? Engage your locker without dropping into 4Lo.

• Navigating forest trails? Use it in 4Hi to keep momentum on long climbs.

• Caught in deep mud or sand? Keep moving with locked traction, even before your tires start spinning.

Every inch of traction counts when you're far from help and deep in the backcountry. The Anytime Locker mod adds confidence, safety, and serious trail performance.

Step-by-Step Confidence: Our Installation Guide Makes It Simple

You don’t need to be a wiring expert to install this system. Our step-by-step Anytime Locker installation guide walks you through the process—from removing panels and tapping into the IA5 connector, to optional indicator light wiring and final testing.

Each wire, connector, and step is explained with photos and pro-level detail, making this an approachable install for weekend wrenchers. All necessary harnesses, connectors, and even a T-Tap are included.

Pro Tip: Disconnect your battery first and route the gray control wire—clean wiring equals a clean install.

Pair It with PAKRAX Rock Sliders or Bed Rack Systems

The Anytime Locker mod doesn’t just add functionality—it completes your off-road build. Pair it with PAKRAX Rock Sliders for frame-saving protection and easy access to rooftop gear. Or match it with our modular Bed Rack system to create the ultimate overlanding setup ready for rooftop tents, recovery boards, and all the gear your next trip demands.

These systems are engineered to work hard and look good, making your rig a powerhouse on and off the trail.
