FJ Cruiser test ride today

Could be wrong, but I believe all electronically shifted transfer cases need the transmission in neutral as well before going from 4Hi to 4Lo (Range Rovers are the only exception I know of). Internally they're the same, just a motor shifting instead of hand lever, and neither can shift with the transmission in gear, putting torque on the input shaft.

I confirm that with my grand vitara I need to be in N before shifting.
 
Be careful with the bull bar when you start getting her dirty. Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the family can't wait to see what you do with it!
 
Welcome to the club! We've had ours for a year now and absolutely love it.
