I'm new to the site and hope that I can figure this out and maybe get a couple of answers. I just got an 07 fj 4x4 and was doing a little off roading but I wanted to power through a mud hole in 2 wheel drive but as I entered in to it the motor bogged down and the VSC light flashed. Any ideas as to how to get around this without going to 4wd?

 

Which version of FJ do you have? Manual, automatic, ATRAC, locker?

 

mine is an automatic, but I do have the a-trac button option and the rear differential lock button also. which brings up another question when should i use the a-trac option? 4h or 4L? anywho thanks for the reply hope to hear more soon.

Where's Corey or one of the other FJ owners ... not sure what options are available in which drive modes.

Here's my opinion - I hear the TrailTeam and Bill Burke always exalting the ATRAC, but IMHO its too unpredictable and requires too much throttle input compared to the elocker.

There is a hack that allows the ATRAC and the elocker to be engaged simultaneously (the TRD FJ's come with it), and that would be a pretty good solution IMHO.
