4x4 / Off-Road TechThis section contains all discussion related to taking the FJ Cruiser in Off-Road situations, 4x4 applications and any armor modifications.
In our Jan/Feb 2006 issue, almost a year ago, we noted in the story that the prototype FJ Cruiser that ran the Rubicon had been wired to use A-TRAC and locker together. It's been there from the beginning.
I also know a secret way to "unlock" more power from a Prius engine. You click the gear lever in an exact sequence of motions. Toyota has lotys of secrets built into their machines!
Could you unlock some of these Toyota secrets here in this forum for us?

They were told to me by a Toyota veep, I can't relay them for legal reasons! But maybe with some experimentation...
It is not nice to "tease" us and then clam up! LOL

A-Trac,Dual horn,Goodyear Fortera Silent Armor's w/MB Razor wheels
Florida "Shark" specialty license plate saying "KRUSR"
are we refering to a simple rocker switch
or a contactor switch
or a directional switch
or a DPDT
or SPST
SPDT
resistive
reostat
momentary contact
start stop hand
dry contact
preasure sensing
I could go on all day
or other when we say a switch is just a switch?
Can someone please confirm that this is a momentary single connection (SPDT) switch? IOW, if you use a single connection and make a momentary contact with pins 3&4 of the A-TRAC connector (black&white and pink&green wires) this will activate A-TRAC?
o! will someone sum up the last 30 pages into one paragraph? Lets call it FJ 4 wheeling for dummies, like me. I go out on the trail, stick it in 4 wheel low, hit the rear diff. lock button, grab an empty bud bottle(so I look good) and have my 2 wives and six kids hanging on to my truck as I roll around the mud pit, did I forget to do something?

I just finished reading the last page or so of this thread, which I found to be rather dense and emotionally charged, then this.
Holy moly TJ, you made my day. Brought tears you did.
