A-TRAC/TRAC/AUTO LSD Explained (Easy to understand, I hope!)

Once again: This thread is not about non-Toyota mods. It is about how to use the factory systems. Didn't the video show both Toyotas making it? The A-Trac is already inatalled on new Toyotas.

 

3:04... Yeah he made it....... When he switched the lockers on. Didnt even come close with A-Trac.



And I guess that was a silly comment you made wasnt it???

 

Sure. Now anyone have questions on Toyota provided traction systems?

 

I have a question...how is it reasonably possible for ATRAC to be superior to locker(s). Explain one more time on how atrac works and how a locker works.

 

A-Trac Tacomas also have a rear locker. Front lockers are not offered since A-Trac is. The rest of your question is answered on page 1 or the link in my sig.

 

So how come they used to offer front lockers such as the 80 and 100 series land cruisers?


Ill answer it...... Cost cutting. They needed to cut costs, so they give you A-Trac. Its better than nothing.... at its best.

 

Once again.... A-Trac fail

LOL, I forgot about that!!!!

 

A little known secret is that Campbell had to engage ATRAC to make this pass

Must have been hard for campbell to steer with all that horsepower with tires spinning widky and being locked front/rear. Incredible he placed 1st in the first place .... guess his secret weapon really was ATRAC. he must have done the ATRAC mod I bet lol

 

I feel like if I get a supercharger for my truck I should see similar results?

 

Oh you should ...for aftershock...the very first obstacle into the trail is begging for a supercharger

Boy ain't that the truth!! Just put your foot on the floor like David K says

 

Ahhhhh the good old days!!!!





The first stuck of the day


This may have been the first time a vehicle took a strap for the day, but it wouldn't be the last...


A few seconds before the rear R&P gave up the ghost for the first major breakage of the day...

George takes some T-case carnage during a recovery (next time, let the winch handle this job and spare the drivetrain).


Pelon boldly takes the ERocker body panel carnage line (but wisely, has a spotter to help out).

We shared the trail with this litte guy - Mel almost stepped on it which is how she found it. He was too immature to have fully developed rattles, just a little nub where the first rattle was starting to grow.


A little night action at the beginning (and end) of the trail.

He will get eaten alive over there
