G`Day guys, I`m been trying to search for ways to bypass the auto center diff lock on my 2.7liter petrol driven 2020 Prado, as my model only have a rotary dial with 4H - 4H Locked - 4L Locked, that`s it nothing else.(Refer to attached picture)
The reason behind it is occasionally I need to drive up a series of very steep sharp hairpin turn on concrete driveway fully loaded with gears, and I do need to carry a lot of speed on 4H in order to generate enough momentum, but that puts everyone at risk in that silly speed. If I were to use the 4L Locked, the center diff will automatically comes on, and performing the hairpin turn on high friction surface it not something I am comfortable with, knowing the end result might be self destructing of the gears.
I did come across certain years of Prado with a rotary dial but it comes with an optional diff lock button. (Refer to second picture)
Is it possible to hack something out to manually activate the center diff or any other option available? As its is a very awesome vehicle to drive in, and the only flaw I can find on this beloved vehicle is only this auto diff lock issue.
