Bumbo-
99 Limited w/locker runs in all those modes too. That is the 99 Limited's forte.

About ATRAC some people hate it pretty hard as it kinda slows you down when braking different tires during a loose rocky hill climb for example but I think the general consensus is it's quite a lot better than open diffs. It doesn't have an 'off' switch like the FJ's have but you can pull a wheel speed connector in the engine bay to turn it off if you want to try it turned off. It works best with really steady throttle at 2k RPMs or so.
Its a good system paired with a rear locker and you'll need a full set of offroad mods before you'll out-wheel that system (35" tires w/ full lift).
I've done some crazy obstacles and I've always though it was a good system, keeping your vehicle mostly stock and doing light trails you shouldn't have a problem with it.
