    We took the tail that goes around the back side of the dunes, across a steam and through the woods towards the mountains for quite a way before we hit a locked hate and had to turn back.

    You probably would have been fine as long as you aired down the rear tires. I don't think I ever needed 4x4.

    See you there!
    :cheers:

    Unfortunately not. It only works with gear-drive cases and the FJ case is chain drive. So, I'll keep pinching pennies until I can sneak enough money away for the Marlin Crawl Box. That one is going to take some time, maybe later this year, we'll see how summer plays out.

    I ordered the LROR twin sticks for it last night. They also have a skid plate for the E-Locker for $60 so I snagged that too. I've always been paranoid about it.

    In other news, I broke my phone again and something tells me the dealership didn't do any of the TSB's I asked them to do. I didn't hear back from them yesterday. Normally if they're going to do work they call and let you know they've found the problem and they're fixing it, right?

    Why is all my shit broke?! :angrygirl:

    I'd consider letting my rear go depending on what happens with BAMF. If they have one with a tire carrier I want one.

    I’m happy with my rear but @Mynameisbrandin may be interested. I remember the carnage he incurred in July.

    That doesnt sound too bad. At least you've got your own space. There's no place like home though!

    And this allows you to have 2Low while keeping the ADD system right?

    Yep! You can keep the ADD or delete it either way though.

    Edit - The twin sticks will give me the same mechanical 2 Low like any other twin-sticked T-Case. I'm, more or less, doing this in advance of completely deleting the ADD.

    mmmm.. so i could delete the ADD with the FJ tube, and then add twin sticks to keep 2 low. I think i might go this route. Even though i have a street truck, i never know if ill change my mind and want to turn it into a crawler
