Introducing a newbie's first year in a VX

Just this weekend, my 9-month installed custom window bracket finally smoked the drivers window regulator (well broke the cable anyway). My $0.69 Menards fix might not work over the long term. Now the month wait for Japan replacment parts order to commence.

As long as that is happening, I decided to get it out of my system and spent most of a day installing a Rodeo 4WD Auto switch and relay to turn TOD ECM off for 2WD action. Now I can limp home if I break something up front, or just go 2WD crazy for jack-assery fun. Saves me the trouble of unplugging the TOD ECM by hand! Likley won’t use it much, but I feel way more manly now that I can press another button.

9 Months into it, my To Do list seems unending. Old cars are fun. I'll keep at it.

I added this mod for a few bucks on Amazon, making anything is possible from here.

Early on, had to free up the driveway for a bit. Made for a nice car show I thought. Wife disagreed.

ROFL

I used the same 'fix' on my TLC windows for years. It even passed VA inspection that way.
