    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I haven't found the sidewalls on mine to be weak really. I've rubbed them on stuff that I knew better than to try traversing and they are unscathed, it's the main tread block that's disappointing especially on an E rated tire.

    I can only speak about my own personal experience with this and you can only speak about your own. The rest is hearsay.

    If I had been in Frank and hit that rock sticking out the same way, Frank's RR MTR would have a torn sidewall.

    I guess not, the sliders tend to keep me off anything that would really spear into the sidewall.

    Is that what the green icon on the dash is? I'm manual, so I've never seen the indicator for it.

    All ive noticed it do is help keep the trans in a gear instead of the constant up n down shifting i was getting at 80kmh.

    What I figured. It's like driving around a little shitbox. It feels even less powerful and not nearly as fun when it's auto. Though with a stock V6 TRD and 5 speed, my truck still feels relatively peppy. Slowly getting heavier though...

    I've got to agree. For one, mine is manual, therefore I have bias. But also, it's my first manual vehicle. So it's extwa speshul.

    Was it hard to do the ignition switches?
    Do u have a write up or video?
    Also how safe is it if someone breaks into your car, could they just drive off?
