The dealer removed my lever and my seat still dropped this is a real problem another forum member had to have two seats replaced before they got a good one.

The kit is going to take the same time to install as any other BL kit, as they all require you to do the same thing. It takes me 3 hours to do the kit, but I know someone else who took 3 days (you know who you are, heh heh heh...) Of course, he'll tell you he was spending all his time playing with his r/c car lol

I don't have this problem yet but my FJ's VIN does come before the production change date. Wondering that if I haven't had any problems yet that it means I'm safe..or should I go ahead and have it replaced while I am still within my warranty period? anyone....??

Could have but doubt it, I always make sure not to touch the bulb and wear those blue rubber gloves when replacing bulbs.

Figured it out. Turned out that when I had to work on my hand controls and switch them out they were just barely causing the break lights to come on shutting off the cruise control. I adjusted the tension on them and problem fixed. It was so slight that the breaks were not dragging but just enough to flick on the lights and shut down cruise. Thanks for the help, glad it was a simple problem.

Ahhhh. That's what I'm looking for. I just wanted to see what others had to say. Didn't wanna hear that was excissive chain strech or the ring and pinion. Now I can look farther into things. My Heep was horrible, but it always got me home, can't complain. The FJ has 60 thousand on it and that seems waaaay to early for drivetrain problems. Thanks ---Joe---

Quote: RadoRoo previously said: Mine does this every now and then. Too bad my warranty was up in May....guess I am SOL. Bring it to their attention just the same. You never know, they may do it as a "Good Will" portion of their warranty service. Sometimes it seems to sink faster than other times. Or maybe it's me, but in the end, it's on the floor. I have an appointment for Tuesday, I'll bring the tsb with me.

If I had given it more thought I would have come up with that answer. The speed will be the same on both the left and right with the lock engaged... Hence A-Trak will never engage.

Quote: pkelly72 previously said: Do you really feel the air locker is necessary? I just don't know if it's worth the money. Would the funds be better used on a new transfer case? In my opinion, it is not necessary for the average 4WD truck; it is expensive for the relatively few times you will really need it - but my point is, that when you've already got the diff completely torn down for new gears, the extra labor (or cost of...

The lefty is in my very near future. I already placed the order. I have the complete set of rear 4.56 with mini kit. I just didn't buy the front because of funds and my indecision on the locker. When you add it all up it just gets very expensive. I might just leave out the locker for now and look for a used one to install in the future.
