    None, factory diff lockers are great.
    Just picked up my new 2010 Tacoma yesterday after a few weeks wait for the dealer to allocate one.

    This thing is amazing. :D Simple yet effective and does all that I need it too.

    So far I've got about 100miles on it and gone through a quarter tank so I might be able to reach the mythical 400mile tank in round 1.

    Thanks for all of the info on here. It has really led me in the right direction through the order of my weathertech mats and the securing of my tailgate.

    Now the only question is whether to get a snugtop or a leer. Any thoughts or preferences?

    Thanks again for all the info guys/gals and I hope to someday put some faces to the IDs.

    The tank merely holds gas; the level is inconsequential. ;)

    Awesome! Congrads! and you bought the write color

    The silver is so easy to maintain...

    Always looks clean and no swirl marks

    When I first got mine I would just drive anywhere so I could be in the truck

    My wife would call my cell and ask when I'm coming home:D

    Thanks everyone for the well wishes.

    BTW, anybody know of a good camping site near DFW area that would let me use some of the off road features of the new ride?
