Dat stache doh

 

Happy birthday!

 

It was the height of Movember. The beard is back now.

 

Santa showed up a little early this year

 

That's a spectacular wrapping job!!!

 

That might be true... BUUUT, you ain't that far from the hilltop yurself....

 

if anyone's looking for a good Christmas gift for folks, I really like this jump starter. I also use it to charge my phone while camping. I've jump started a handful of cars and it works great. I just got one for my friend so he doesn't have to call me anymore when his battery dies. Win win.

I've been thinking about getting one, but as I present for myself. Haha

 

You should! I put mine in my spare tool compartment.

 

@Dave41079 @The Taco Bear Which one of you wants to try this first?

 

Slow down there. You aint 2wd anymore. Figure out that new 4x4 lever thing before you worry about all the other buttons.

 

I was actually thinking about that on my way home. I’ve been wheeling 2wd and not giving a fuck for 4 years and have never actually used 4wd in my life except for one mud hole in my old f150. Taking this thing off-road is going to be a whole different experience.

 

You won’t likely need Atrac unless you’re driving less than 5mph anyway. I never use Atrac.

 

Yea, I more just want the locker in 4hi. Atrac cuts off over 4mph I think.

 

You have to have ATRAC to use it... lol

 

The anytime locker mod is worth doing if you can figure it out without butchering your wiring harness!

 

My understanding is that you just have to splice into the 4lo ground wire where the ecu grounds when you put it in 4lo (to allow ATRAC and the locker to be turned on) and put a switch in it that, when switched on, allows you to auto ground that wire and the ecu thinks you’re in 4lo and allows the use of ATRAC and the locker.

Apparently turning this switch on in 2hi or 4hi will turn off all traction control and light up the 4lo light on your dash too. Sounds kinda like a burnout button to me.

 

ATRAC on 4R works really well when you have a tire up in the air and remember to actually turn on atrac.


And as Dave taught me at aop, use sport shift while in 4lo is better that just staying in drive.

 

It's my favorite Mod above any other mod I've done! Takes about 30min with minimal butchery to the wiring harness to do on the Taco.

 

That right there is the trick!


















































I think I have forgotten to turn it on more often than I have remembered too...
