a-trac switch
has anyone succesfully ordered an a-trac switch from toyota and recieved it? ordered mine today and they said it was back ordered maybe 2-3 weeks. also talked to a toyota tech last night at a local cruiser club meeting he said he was working on a way to run locking rear diff. with the a-trac system. he said the early prototypes on the fj ran this version and the rig never lost traction he said it was unstoppable . {his words not mine} its kind of cool just thought i would relay what i heard . he said he would keep me posted . he also said the a trac switch will activate all fj's that already have the rear locking diff. if you dont have that it wont work.

Very interesting. With the 4.7L V8/5-Speed/Full-Time 4WD and SFA I'd deffinately buy one if its still within a reasonable price.

that is true but you can guess with those kind of options the price will jump to the $40,000 dollar range.

236 hp @ 5200 rpm/266 lb.-ft. @ 4000 rpm 4.7-liter DOHC 32-valve EFI VVT-i V8 260 hp @ 5400 rpm/306 lb.-ft. @ 3400 rpm Thats straight from Toyotas website. That would be 24 more horsepower and 40 more ft-lbs for the V8. I meant to type 6-Speed manual, I'm aware that it come with full-time 4WD with the V6... but I would want that configuration with the V8. Edit: Those figures are for the 4-Runner. The same V8 in the UZJ-100: 4.7-liter DOHC 32-valve EFI V8 275 hp @ 5400 rpm/332 lb.-ft. @ 3400 rpm The same V6 in the FJ-Cruiser: 4.0-liter DOHC 24-valve EFI VVT-i V6 239 hp @ 5200 rpm/278 lb.-ft. @ 3700 rpm So no matter which way you go, the lowest powered V8 is still more powerful than the highest powered V6 __________________ IFS: Inferior Front Suspension / It Failed Suddenly / It F@#%ing Sucks |

I was thinking of the earlier 2UZ-FE engines with 230hp.
Even with the newer version of the 4.7l V8, there is no way anyone in their right mind would pay the $$$$ premium for 21 hp. Add to that the fact that Toyota has never offered a V8 with a manual transmission (at least not that I've heard of.) -B- __________________ 97 FZJ80 - Wing Nut MAF, locked, 315 Toyos, 4.88s, Slee 4", George's sliders, Slee bumpers, M12000, OBA, Outback drawers + other stuff.
