    Not to keep this up, but attacking a cone course is aggressive driving and as such tire wear is to be expected. Not a valid argument in this context.
    ABS still sucks.
    not to mention that it should only be aggravating things on the snow anyway, (no tire wear) not on dry pavement...

    I've rarely had my abs activate.

    Maybe you all need better tires :D

    @Gramps

    I don't want to completely turn it off, just have the ability to flip the switch and have it off. I am guessing it's some "upgrade" that Toyota did in newer trucks. It will randomly just get super touchy, activate abs, and then be hyper sensitive, any use of it while its hyper sensitive and it's almost like it's trying too hard and locks up the tires, exactly what it is supposed to avoid.

    I've never had an issue on the road, it's done it on dirt and snow for me. It'll be left active most of the time, but i would like to be able to control it if it starts to get wacky.

    No got that. I was just trying to see if it's isolated to certain years. But based on the responses it's all over the board with all different years having the issue while others don't have the issue. So it's just whack!

    I'm a bit on the cautious side about hanging out on the deck while eating dinner after seeing those mountain lion tracks today. I knew and figured they were on the area, just not in the yard.

    A bear, no worries. Lion, ehhhh

    I had a land navigation course to go to in Alaska in the same location where the week prior some dude got half his ass chomped off by a bear. So they moved our points to find a lot closer to the road, easiest land nav course ever haha

    And another time this dude and his wife were on a jog, he ran way ahead of her and she was attacked. He had no idea she was being attacked until he realized she wasn't running behind anymore. Both attacks were on base too

    I wonder if I'll be safe in my hammock. It's freaking beautiful outside right now. Other than some damn bug that's buzzing in the top of the hammock.

    I would doubt that i look tasty enough to scurry 15 feet up a tree.

    Well...I'm all hammocked up. Supposedly you can sleep diagonal in a double hammock and you stay level but it's not working. Maybe because the sleeping bag is slippery.

    Got a flash light, phone charger and a gat, just if things get fishy.

    Neighbor dogs in the distance are barking at something.
