Toyota 2000 Land Cruiser ATRAC Off-road Demonstration UZJ100

The key points are to keep a steady throttle, ideally, 1k-1.5k RPM, 4LO, 1st or 2nd gear, keep the steering straight whenever possible, and let ATRAC do its thing.
Sorry for the window noise. And excuse me for calling it all-trac. I know its ATRAC.
Cleghorn CA. You don't always need a lock. ATRAC will get you pretty far.

that car is already 20 years old i cant believe that OMG!

[@tommiddleton6398]

Thank you for this solid video demonstrating the 100 series' off-camber stock prowess. One of the best videos out for this attribute. Well done!

[@NKPGarage]

Gorgeous hundred series! Love the video and the explanation of how the system works to keep traction at all times

[@WaterandSpirit]

This is a nice video. I have a SR5 4runner 2017. But I think I just fell in love with this car.

[@fozzy_che]

Good driving! Nice TLC. Thanks for the video, watching you from Russia

[@MJCMedia15]

Impressive driving and great vehicle! I have a 2005 4Runner similar to yours that I'm only modifying in a moderate way, 2 inch lift and slightly bigger tires, making it a super stocker. Wow, coming right off the showroom floor, Toyota 4x4s can wheel just about anywhere. Great job!

[@KraziAzn2]

Yup! Toyota really knows how to build a great 4x4!

[@idabagusputumahardika1057]

thank you for your video, i learned that this vehicle is actually really capable on stock to travel what in my opinion not an easy one.

[@misternaem2103]

Good thing you guys left your lights on to stay safe!

Wasn't bright enough outside, I want to make sure oncoming traffic saw me.

air down to 15to18PSI, 4HI and you're good. Airing down is KEY.

I realize this video is several months old but curious if you modified type of fuel you use to qualify for the Clean Air HOV Green Sticker. I have it on my PHEV but not on 200 Series

[@redbone7040]

👌

[@rajivpanda9711]

Does the Atrac engage automatically? Or do you have to turn it on?

[@PaulMcCabe]

Very capable truck, does this one have the air suspension fitted?

[@62kona]

Cool to see it in action. Never been to cleghorn but I’d like to soon. Looks like it has some cool options. Just curious, did you drop your tire pressure in this vid? It looked like it may have been high.

[@KraziAzn2]

You should check it out! They have by-pass on all the hard stuff. I lowered it to 22-23PSI because I was too lazy to air back up later. I usually run 18-20PSI. It's been serving me just fine. But if I think I'll need more traction, then 15PSI is lowest I went.

[@warweaponx6629]

Great video thanks! So all of that was using ATRAC or did you use the lockers at some point? Definitely an oh shit moment when you went right! Lol

[@woolengrappler]

Is the atrac always on, or only when you lock the center diff and go into low range? Does the atrac direct power left/right on an axle, as well as front and rear?

[@KraziAzn2]

It is always on. It directs power left or right, and front and rear.

[@IamJakePark]

So this is just center diff locked with ATRAC only? Amazing !

[@KraziAzn2]

Yup. ATRAC is an amazing system. Next best thing to a real locker.

[@DellNarvaez]

Cool Vid. What kind of roof basket do you have? Thinking of getting one like yours.
