2lo kit for 2nd gens

I just checked out the GFC and those actually look pretty nice. We have a standard travel trailer but I've also been considering more of a RTT setup for some more remote camping.

Received your payment this weekend along with the shipping address. I'll have your order packaged up today and sent out tomorrow morning!

You wouldn't happen to own a 3rd gen tundra would you? lol

The initial prototypes I actually did hand assemble and solder which was a massive pain in the ass since many of the components are tiny (smaller than a grain of rice). Now that everything has been debugged and been field tested they are machine produced for the component placement soldering etc.

Thanks When I first started working on this project I considered a few possible ways of making this effectively work and what you described was one of the possibilities. It actually would have been one of the easier solutions to just have the module override the ADD engagement motor and which it could then lock and unlock the ADD on the fly.

I decided not to go that route though as there were some safety considerations (safety of your truck lol). The route I went works together with the 4wd ECU and was probably the most technical way to do it but also the only one that has no possibility of engaging or disengaging low range when it's not mechanically safe to do so.

I guess the shorter answer to your question though... if you are in 2lo and flick the switch trying to disengage 2lo you would remain in 2lo and the dash lights would blink on and off indicating you are trying to do something it won't allow. Once you press the switch back in the dash light blinking will stop.

 

Okay that makes sense reason I was asking just ordered a front lunchbox locker would be a great thing to have for sharp turns an 3 point turns to prevent binding an not have to go thru all the steps of going 2WD etc. lemme drink on it an I’ll get back to you I still like the idea of 2lo.

 

Sounds good, I find nothing helps loosen the wallet like a few drinks lol

 

That’s what got me in the predicament I’m in mod wise. I need supervision.

 

Does this work with the 6spd without driver aids?

 

What do you mean by driver aids?

 

This is what I picture by drivers aid. I mean no offense by it just puzzled also.

 

Something tells me that probably isn’t what he had in mind haha

That would make sense.. I have a sport and everything works fine with that. Have had people confirm the rear locker is good to go, even if the locker anytime mod has been done.

Everything should operate the same unless there is a feature that distributes power to the front wheels specifically while in 4lo. In that case it would still work in 4lo no problem but would not in 2lo since the Module would be blocking power to the front wheels.

 

My truck had ABS, but no traction control, a-trac, vsc or anything like that.

 

I might need this in a few more years

 

Hmmm... I didn't think to ask before I ordered. Will this function properly on a 6 speed Off Road? Specifically with A-Track and the rear locker?

 

I’m 100% sure there is no loss of functionality when in standard operation (2hi, 4hi & 4lo) and about 95% sure no loss even with 2lo (except front locker of course) but let me tag a few people who have the Module and a OR model and we can get that confirmed.

 

Would one of you guys mind commenting on the functionality of A-Track after having put the 2lo module in.

Okay thanks for the clarification and you got it right. Anything that involves front wheel torque while in 2lo would not function. That being said a valid argument could be made that if you are in 2lo then you really shouldn't be calling for a feature that requires torque in the front wheels...

 

If it is confirmed that A-Track doesn't work while in 2lo and that is a deal breaker for you it's no problem to reverse your transaction if you would like.

Or in general if anyone is not happy with their order it can be returned for a refund. I'm pretty confident everyone will like the kits but if for any reason your not satisfied just get in touch. Those that have dealt with me before know that I am very easy going

 

Why would you want to utilize A-TRAC in 2LO? Without starting a fist fight it’s absurd.

 

Based on my quick google of A-Trac I'd agree that if you need to use it you will want to be in 4lo, not 2lo. I think he was probably looking to confirm that it would still function just fine in 4lo though which it will.

 

Jaimes, I just wanted to say that it’s awesome to see you’ve stuck it out and “reaching success” shall we say. I know it’s still work, so not sure if it feels like sucess yet. LOL. If I still had my Tacoma, I’d be sending money to you at this very moment. I also think you are charging WAY too little for these.

My Tundra has never left me wanting 2lo like my 6spd Tacoma did, but I wanted this badly back then.

 

2Lo module has been a great addition to my truck. I use it often and have had no problems from any of the truck systems associated with it.

 

Thanks, Jaimes. I may not have phrased my question very well. That another poster thought I wanted A-track in 2-Lo befuddles me. I just wanted to be sure that the module doesn't interfere with proper A-track operation or rear-locker operation in 4-lo with a manual transmission. For sure, if I need A-track or the rear locker, I'd be in 4-lo first. There aren't many manual, off-roads compared to automatics, so I assumed the module may not have been tested on that configuration. I am more than happy to install it and report back my findings.
