OK guys here is my situation. I got my FJ a few months ago and have done a few mods to it (3" Toytec Adj. Coil over front, Toytec 3" rear, Micky Thompson 285/75/r16 MTZ=33", Lucrum winch mount, and Warn 9.5ti). I wanted to see how it would perform and hooked up with a few Rising Sun guys and hit Old Chinaman Gulch here in CO. Everything went great, had the rear locked and the FJ went through everything well with one exception (V-notch obstacle) and got to check out the wench performance which was great as well. After V-notch I decided to try unlocking the rear and use only the A-trac for a while so I disengaged the rear locker (indication went out), engaged the A-trac (indication came on) and continued on the trail. we came upon another rocky area and I proceed to go over this obstacle in A-trac only, when I got opposing corners off the ground at which time both opposing tires started to spin with apparently NO A-trac being applied to the wheels with traction, I then re-engaged the rear locker and went right over.
Has anyone else had this happen? Could the A-trac not have been engaged with apparent panel indication that it was? I have not had the chance to recreate the situation yet but hopefully will in the next few weeks, I might just take the FJ to the dealer and have them verify that the A-trac system is working properly.. If you have any suggestions what might have happened it would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks, PhatFJ
