This is interesting about the PTU being air cooled.
Any driving conditions that result in the front wheels slipping will result in the PTU engaging. If the wheels are spinning when the PTU engages the clutches will have to slip to allow for different wheel speeds between the front and rear. That will generate heat. If you are not hooning around on the sand and spinning the front wheels a lot I would think you should be fine. As noted in your owner's manual, if your PTU overheats you'll see a warning that the 4WD system is disabled. At that point just give it a few minutes to cool off and you'll be back in business. While waiting for it to cool I'd analyze my driving technique to see if I could do something different to avoid generating wheel spin. Sometimes that's not possible, but I'd avoid it as much as possible with an air-cooled PTU.
Sorta defeats the purpose of back-up lights doesn't it? I put LED bulbs in for brighter lights and the tint makes the stock lights even dimmer.Added smoke tint to the rear lights , thanks to JohnSilver for the link ??
I will consider swapping for led bulbs, do you have a link for those ? You can get a lighter shade but I chose 20% , It does look a bit darker in the photos
Bulb is a 7440. You can find many different brands on Amazon. I'm sure you could find a exact link if you check the lighting section of this forum. There are you-tube videos that show how to change bulb. Simple DIY project.
