    hey guys, new member here, I'm on my 4th Toyota truck,
    I had an 88" extended cab 5 speed 3.0
    I had an 89" extended cab v6 3.0 sr5
    2012 4 door long bed 4.0 v6 sr5 tacoma
    And now a 2015 long bed long bed 4.0 v6 sr5.
    My current truck has bilstein 6112's in the front with JBA OffRoad UCA's and bilstein 5160's in the rear with a pro comp aal with Goodyear wrangle duratracs on 17x9 method race wheels

    I was out Friday night in the woods by my house here in central Vermont, we were wheeling the trails I always have since I first got my license, a bit of inclines, trversses up and down steep hills rocks, river bed, mud, standing water up to 3 feet deep. Nothing too crazy, stock trucks and go most of all these trails. After a few runs through a mud pit we shall monster mud hole, my slip indicator light came on and stayed on, I didn't take notice immediately, it was a little while later I realized the light had stayed on. I read in the manual if the slip indicator light stays in it means a issue with
    The VSC
    The auto LSD
    The TRAC
    The A-TRAC SYSTEM (if equipped, which it is not.)
    The downhill assist control (if equipped) it's not
    The hill start assist (if equipped)it's not, or
    The trailer sway control (if equipped) it's not

    Has anyone else had this problem occur after some mud runs or deep Water? I don't know what else would or could have affected the traction system. My steering wheel is not true to the alignment of the truck after this either, I don't remember jarring the wheel into any rocks or hitting something hard enough to move the steering out of alignment. The tires are still aligned together properly cause it goes down the pavement the same it did before, but the steering wheel is turned a little while going straight. I wonder if this is causing the slip indicator to stay on because of something that may have been knocked out of place or broken on Friday night. Any insight before I go see my mechanic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
