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.

 

Wow. a major feature of a $2000+ option package for a $60 OEM switch or a $1 radio shack special... lol

 

dont ya just love the yota community.... willing to try this stuff, and share it with the rest of us, even though i dont have an FJ or even plan on buying one, its awesome that we all can share the info.

 

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

 

Holy hell.... thats freakin' sweet!!


Not that I own an FJC but I wouldn't mind it if someone gave me one

 

yeah...i read that thread too and was pretty amazed. too bad it wasnt the same deal with diff lockers

 

Very cool, is ATRAC the same thing that came in my 03 runner?? Or is the trac control I have different? My xcase doesnt sound like its going to explode...its all brake work

 

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.

 

Pretty cool breakthrough!

(im still glad I ordered my black 6 speed FJ fully loaded, though!)

 

Does this still work?

 

Looks like it might come standard on the 08s.

Defiantly, I love having both on my 07 Taco.. .now I just need to install the hack so I can use the elocker and the A-TRAC...

 

Not in the '08 I just picked up.

Glad someone posted the link. This'll make a great first di it yourself mod.
