4x4 / Off-Road TechThis section contains all discussion related to taking the FJ Cruiser in Off-Road situations, 4x4 applications and any armor modifications.
I know it may be a stupid question, but because I am worried about my passenger, while asking “what does this button do”, pressing either RD lock or A-track button while I am driving on the highway going 70mph. So my question is “What if?”, what happens if I you press Rear Diff lock button or A-track button while being in High 2 (I have an Auto), and moving? I realize that in order to engage the RD or A-track one needs to be in L4 and moving 5 miles and hour and you are in H2 probably nothing will happen but still wanted to check with you guys (and gals) to suppress my paranoia. I appreciate your response

You can always tell them it is the Self Destruct botton or Passenger Eject...

Please don't try this, but I don't think you can even put it in reverse while driving. The ECU OWNS you. I accidentally put my MT6 in reverse while attempting to find first while rolling. Nothing happened, where as in my old truck you would get a nasty grind!

If you install the short shifter, this will eliminate the problem of putting it in reverse when trying for first, at least it did on mine. The extra effort to put in reverse makes the pattern much more noticable, you actually need to try for reverse with this kit.
