New DCSB TRD OR 4x4

Essentially...yes. I found some 3/8" nylon washers and the longer bolt at Lowes. 10 min job.

 

have you specifically tested out the Multi Terrain Select and/or Crawl Control? Would appreciate your thoughts....

I tried to last night and I can't even get it to work... lol. Screen kept saying to put in 4L, which it already was. I need to reread the manual.

 

um I don't think you are driving around town and what not constantly in 4L

 

I'm not sure I understand what you are getting at. I am in 2WD by default, 99.9% of the time. I only shifted into 4H and 4L just to test MTS and CC.

 

if you put it into 4L and the truck is beeping at you, your NOT in 4L.

 

No shit sherlock. hence, I am posting about what I am doing wrong and asking for advice.

 

Maybe you're going to fast? I dunno.

 

I was at stand still.

 

Well bust out that manual and let us know what the deal is. Does it require being in park or neutral, or can you engage 4x4 in gear?

 

MUST be neutral to to engage 4L.once in 4L, everything else should be easy to engage. Make sure you are on a dirt road or on grass...do not engage on dry pavement.

 

Oh so I should start from Neutral, not Park? Ok, I'll try that tonight. Thanks.

 

Even when a toyota trucks engaged 4L manually for as long as I can remember, you must be in neutral. Also, do not engage rear diff lock unless you are on dirt. You may have to turn front wheel slightly to get differential gears to align while you move out SLOWLY for Rear diff to lock.....do none of this on dry pavement !,!!,!,!;-))))

Also, stop, place in neutral to disengage 4L as well.
Great looking truck..enjoy.

 

RTFM.

 

um I thought that was a given, "N" for 4L. I guess need to ask that in the future as everyone may not know that

 

and a side, save your 4L, engage once a month to lube them and from freezing/locking up due to lack of use.

thats my PSA for the year

 

ok, so i just found the owners manual online and here are the instructions... Looks like I should not be in P or N. thanks everyone for chiming in.

■Crawl Control can be operated when
●The engine is running.
●The shift lever is in any position other than P or N.
●The front-wheel drive control switch is turned to “4L”.
●The driver’s door is closed.

 

Damn safety.

 

And, cell Phone turned off and you're not receiving a Monica Lewinski special

 

But how am I supposed to drive while hanging out my door shooting and drinking beer at the same time?
