I remember this project well - mbeach is an electroinics tech of some sort, so he was definitely the man for the job. He rigged an oscilliscope into one of his VXs (he had two, IIRC) to see what the inputs and outputs of the ToD controller were doing in various circumstances. He tried to get it to happen, but I believe he gave up on it when he realized that the speed-variable square wave generator needed to trick the ToD was too complicated to make as a simple workshop project, and he didn't want to get involved with making them. This was a shocker for some people, because the JDM VX and the Trooper ToD (which offered a 2W-Hi option in addition to ToD and 4WD-Low) could easily be modded to force a 4WD-Hi mode. That mod, however, does not work on the VX. Similarly, since our front hubs do not unlock, we don't want a 2WD-High option, because the front wheels will still end up spinning their drive hardware all the time even if you decoupled the front axle at the t-cases.

Mbeach sold one of the VX's, and he hasn't been around here much since then - his last visit was 2.5 months ago. Anyway, if you REALLY know your electronics, he's the guy to talk to about this (if you can get in touch with him).

Good luck!!
