    So I know turning off the Auto LSD when driving in normal conditions is recommended, what about traction control, etc? Can someone know tell me what should be turned off or on when driving in normal conditions (aka, highway and city roads, etc.)? Without being a smart butt...lol

    In normal conditions just get in the truck and drive. If the road or terrain is icy/slippery hit the traction control button once and turn on Auto LSD.

    Just get in and drive as mentioned above.
    Traction control on is a quick press of the button. To turn it off push and hold for a few seconds, then you have a open diff up to about 35 mph then the computer automatically reinstates function of TC

    Pfft, traction control. That's the second button that gets pressed (and held) once I'm inside the truck. No nanny-state in my taco, I get enough of that in my country.

    No adaptive cruise or lane departure warnings either. I taped over my back-up cam, too. In fact, I usually drive blindfolded to more fully immerse myself in the most analog of driving experiences: drive by feel

    I have Google cardboard googles you can use with an iPhone to FPV drive it- just tape a second phone set on facetime to your Pro grille over the radar logo! :p

    I know someone who used to drive a pretty isolated road at night through the desert in silent running blackout mode wearing a set of Gen III+ night vision goggles he got from work until one day he passed a CHP parked on the side of the road around a turn. He got out of a ticket by letting the cop try out the goggles for about 5 minutes, too!
