I've owned a 2007 Limited for about a year and the 4-lo has never worked. It only 'beeps' when I try it. I've read the "tap it with a mallet on a hot day" threads and the "keep trying it" threads. None of this worked. I took it to my mechanic and he attempted to "put it back in phase" (as series of pulling it back, rotating and putting it back). He mentioned he failed to fix one only once before... Well. Twice now.
I asked him to look into the cost to replace the actuator. He said he could. Although, he recommended swapping out the T4R transfer case for an FJ transfer case. "Hmmm. Interesting" I said. Basically, it would render the dial selector obsolete as the FJ is a manual selector. I said, "I'm listening". He recommended it as I will never have the faulty actuator and the $2000 - $2500 issue again. I like the idea and was wandering if anyone has done this and what their experience was like.
Thanks in advance for any comments on this...
