    Hi everyone! Been reading here for a while, looking for solutions to some of the niggles and issues with my '18 4x4 TRD Sport DCLB in MGM. Finally figured I should probably sign up and contribute my 2c to some of the discussions.

    I'm located in Prince Edward Island on the Canadian east coast, although I'm from the UK originally. Owned numerous Toyotas over the years, but this is my first Toyota truck. Hoping I can both learn and contribute some knowledge through TW.

    It's pretty well stock, I've since removed the KO2s and gone back to the original Firestones as the extra weight of the tires (almost 15lbs per corner) seemed to make the shifting characteristics even worse than they already were. My 45min commute involves a lot of hills, and the transmission was almost intolerable with the BFGs.
    If I do anything else it will probably be the OV Tune and lighter wheels to further improve the way it drives, that's my biggest gripe with the truck so far, along with a few other little niggles... I'll save that for a different thread though!
