    2WD Low mod. Best thing ever on the 6 speed. Reverse is ridiculous backing a trailer up a hill without that mod. Can't believe I waited almost a year to do it.

    I like the idea of fumoto valve, just have bad thoughts of off-roading and it catching something, being ripped off or dragged open and then a yardsale of oil in the desert... leaving me stranded...

    Skid plate is the answer for that concern. I had a fumoto on my FJ and never had a problem. It was one of the first things I did on my Tacoma as well, the convenience can't be overstated.

    I use my remote start at least once a day. It's been my most useful mod.

    My dashcam will probably one day win my vote as most valuable mod.

    lol. My RCi skids had a hole that the fumoto drained right out of. No removing anything, I'd assume all skids would be like that...

    I use mine all of the time. I leave the window open during the summer when I'm at work (secured lot). Even when it's cooler out, the window is open for some air flow.
