I doubt you'd ever pull off a swerve and recover without PS on an FJ Cruiser, I know my Wrangler won't.

The aerodynamics of these 4x4's is such that EOC isn't very practical anyway. If I do EOC occasionally, it's with the gearbox in gear and foot on the clutch ready to bump start at short notice.

EOnC is probably the preferred method, the only solution I can see to the problem is to spoof the ECU's speed input while in neutral. An ECU tuner might be able to help.
