TOD Locking?

[RamAirZ]

I'm with ya there Chris. If I keep the auto I'm gonna at least swap out the TOD case for a manual one then that opens ya up for the Revo gears, or if I do a full swap it'll end up with the MUA5 5-spd. Where I live there is no real advantage to the TOD, maybe horrible rainy conditions, but it'd be nice to be able to select 2wd or REAL 4HI.

I briefly considered gutting it and making it rear drive only, for the same reasons. I doubt the TOD has ever been engaged ever in mine. I have to remember to go on a shell road every year or so, just to stick it in low low for a mile or so. (I had the VX for maybe 4 years before ever used lo at all....it was tough to engage because of it....now doing it every year or so seems enough to keep it loosened up) 2WD makes more sense for me too

TOD engages every time you drive over 5mph. Watch the green lights, if you stomp on it, it may even go higher than just the first bars.

other than the 5/95 or 10/90 split (or whatever it is nominally) It's never been in any low traction situations is what I meant

ohhhhh, my bad. I too would like an honest to goodness 4high. I am not a huge fan of drivetrain electronics, electronic lockers and so on. If you get em wet, or a bad electrical connection, broken wire, you are screwed. At least with manual stuff, you can always over ride something or rig something up, and it doesn't care about water
