I had a 99 Limited for 9 years and now an 01 SR5 for 6 years. The main differences that stand out to me are the hydraulic vs vacuum brakes, the VSC/ATRAC, the electronic throttle, the electronic A/C controls, and the multi mode being available on SR5 models. Hydraulic brake system makes a...

Interesting; I did find this documentation on the multi-mode for those interested.

This is news to me! Do you have more info or a link?

I found with center diff locked it slid more, although more predictable when breaking traction. The AWD mode with VSC on was the safest mode for getting around. Would have been perfect with a rear LSD. The real fun is in an icy parking lot in 2H with VSC off!

96 manual and 02 Supercharged! How do they compare to each other?

Got a beam dip and a salute from two lifted 3rd gens in the last 2 weeks. #MakingADifference :rockon:

So a cool part of the WRX and Wrangler communities is the wave/thumbs up. I have tried doing this with other lifted/modded 3rd gens on the road and get ignored every time. 5th gen Trail Edition guys give me a look like I'm some kind of lunatic. :lol: I know there are a lot of non-enthusiasts who...

If it makes you feel better I'm going to look at a 93 RX-7 for $20k. My first choice was the Porsche 993 Turbo but the market for those is ridiculous. Can't find a stick turbo MKIV Supra for under $30k. That's the price you pay if you want desirable old cars I guess..

No I have never heard this noise. They made a writeup in their system and gave me a copy.

I mean to say I did take it to the dealer and they told me it's normal.

Anyone with a VF3AM? Does your tcase make any noise at all when engaged?

Thanks for the advice guys. I only went there for an alignment as the specialist shop wanted me to leave the car over the weekend. They are telling me it's a normal noise so now I have to talk to Toyota directly I guess.

Idiot gave me the keys with the truck in low range. 99% sure he didn't know wtf he was doing and now the transfer case makes a faint whirring noise in 4WD that gets louder with speed. What should I do?

Use the parking brake..
