    Workman understands that Chris4x4 is a MOD, therefore it makes perfect sense to Workman that Chris is on TW often. Chris 4x4 also provides TW with TONS of good information, as well as funny shenanigans. Workman just wishes Whipper and David could get along better. Its obvious that they secretly love each other, and Workman thinks they need to take the next step....They even both live in CA! Look out Match.com, here comes TW!

    Chris4x4 doesnt want this thread turning to shit anymore. Chris4x4 is asking that all involved please refrain from more shit stiring. Chris4x4 thinks it would be more entertaining if Whipper was more like Workamn.

    Fightnfire wishes he could partake in this shitstorm but fightnfire doesn't have ATRAC or Lockers. Fightnfire's truck is lucky to make it out of the driveway without ATRAC or Lockers. Some mornings the 6" gain in elevation over 16' is difficult. Silly Whipper, I know Whipper doesn't care, but DavidK is very passive aggressive and Whipper takes the bait like a fat kid on a cupcake.

    Since Whipper has screwed this thread up, 'David K' is thinking about starting a new thread of serious discussion with Tacoma owners or potential owners on the (up to) 9 drive modes Tacomas can have, how they work and how to use them... as this one tried to do, 2 years ago.

    Stay tuned. Oh, and 'David K' has tired to be friends with whipper... the entertainment value to whipper or his ego is just too high for him to have a truce... but we can all hope for some maturity, I do.

    Long live Toyota and its A-TRAC device... better than Trans-Warp Drive anyday!

    Dear Mr. Moderator,
    Please remove all insulting and non-topic posts... including mine, that are not helping others in this thread. I do not care to see an otherwise popular thread that has helped so many get bogged down further with arguments and insults by someone who refuses to make nice and back off.
    Many thanks!

    Hey...it is not time to end this discussion yet. I am picking up my 2012 Taco DC 4x4 Offroad this week. Any known changes to the "9 Drive" settings discussed in this post?

    Thanks so much for the post. It helps greatly.
