    I used to feel that way too but as I get older the more I appreciate the automatic.

    I tried driving a A/T before pulling the trigger on the taco. I am in no way a race car driver or anything but was board driving an A/T. If I have my way will never go back.

    POLL TIME


    This goes for M/T, SR5, 4Runner, and Tundra peeps.

    Would you want a stick out or a Flip out key:

    Pros and cons of each:

    Stickout:
    Pros:

    -Cheaper fob
    -smaller than stock(body)

    Cons:
    -Still has a key sticking out
    -Harder to assemble(must sacrifice stock fob shell)

    FLIPOUT:
    Pros:

    -No key sticking out
    -Stealth all in 1
    -Much easier to assemble.

    Cons:
    -More expensive
    -Will need to get a key cut
    -Bulkier than regular fob


    I have some sweet prototypes done just hesitant on posting:p

    I'm guessing a stick out would be better but hard to say.

    Ever thought about a push button start conversion for Tacoma?

    Oh hell yeah! I like both ways, but can't really vote until I can see what they look like, I say post up both renderings then vote.

    I’m in for a flipout key!
    But either way I’d buy one... or two ;)

    I'd vote flip. I have the smart fob, so I wouldn't be ordering one. I do have a FJ though with a regular key and I have the AJT case for it. I wish it was a flip out case though!

    I will most likely mold both styles. That way I can cater to both spectrum of customers.

    That's probably the best idea. Most people have two keys and having one of each style would be the best of both worlds. Both options look sweet!

    Any chance you'll make the flip key variant of the smart fob?

    I almost wish I had a turn key ignition again after seeing this flip out key design...

    I'd vote flip because it's unique and there isn't another option like it. But if you make both then I will buy both! Hell yeah bud these are dope, so I'm in either way.
    And what is the trd button on the flip style? Just looks or something functional? Either way I like it there. Surprised no one else noticed. Would be pretty dope if that button said meso also, just a though.

    I noticed as well, I'm assuming possibly for the 4Runner hatch unlock?
