Yeah that's the beauty of having a selective locker like the TRD one, you can turn it on only when you need it. I cheaped out with my last truck and went with a full-time locker, which can get squirrelly.

Chains on the back tires thing is because most 2wd trucks are rear wheel drive, and you want your drive wheels to have the most traction. Correct me if I'm wrong (I live in socal where chains are rarely needed unless your in the mountains), but 4x4 or AWD vehicles aren't ever required to put on chains are they?

yeah I think 4x4 are required to put on chains sometimes... although they always wave us through in the Subaru so I am not 100% sure. I get that the drive tires need the chains but apparently some Tacoma 4x4 owners put chains on all 4 tires without reading the manual which states not to. The front tires have some notch in the rim, I think it is for the tire pressure sensor or something like that and it causes rubbing on the chain and they break after a few miles. I just thought it would be nice to have chains on all 4 tires for steering purposes on a rear wheel drive vehicle. FYI I'm also from So Cal so I hardly drive in snow unless it's hunting season.
