ok im still confused about this ATRAC thing. what are the actual benifits??? why not just be any normal person and float the throttle if your wheels are spinning???

Because it will "float the throttle" on each wheel...one at a time depending on that individual tires grip on the surface. Manually "floating the throttle" when climbing makes you lose momentum and stop.
The benefits are that you can go when others can't and still be able to steer the vehicle. With one drive wheel (on each axle if you wish) floating in the air you can feather the throttle all you want and the airborne wheel will get the power, with ATRAC you will keep moving forward.
go to Toyota.com : Vehicles : FJ Cruiser : Bulletin click on "Engineering" and then "traction tools"and see an illustration of how it can work.
