It's official - Adding A-TRAC to your FJ

http://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=85568

you can either buy the factory A-TRAC switch, or any old switch to short out the correct wires. Check out page 3 of that thread to see the testing.

its just like the CDL switch for FZJ80s.

what an ingenious ploy by toyota.. im sure it costs them more to make some of the fj's with atrac and some without-so they just made them all with atrac and priced them accordingly. if you buy one "without" it, im sure their cost is still covered, you just cant use it. If you buy one with the $2k switch.. its all gravy to them

I think it is the same concept from 01 to current 4Runners Trac systems which I like. It is best of both worlds with the FJ IMO with the e-locker also.

Looks like it might come standard on the 08s.
