    4WD Control Options - VSC, DAC, Rear Lock, TRAC

    Yo Rock, I forgot about this one also. No idea what else might install here, and don't recall exactly what it's for. :)

    4WD Control Options - VSC, DAC, Rear Lock, TRAC

    Yeah, never tried posting pics yet but I'll give it a shot. Without stickers, couldn't tell that your truck wasn't an OR except for 17" wheels and no obvious locking diff. And that's only for those who recognize the difference. Mine looks like a Sport with the hood, grille shell, bumpers...

    WTB mud flaps/guards/whatever

    Thanks, I think stock flaps are fairly stiff as well. More pliable would be preferred. Personally, I don't know what all the fuss is, about WeatherTech. Near as I can tell, all aftermarket direct fit flaps tout no drilling, and none I've found are softer. They all look about the same and most...

    4WD Control Options - VSC, DAC, Rear Lock, TRAC

    Well, it's my understanding that all those features and switches were part of the OffRoad package only. My 2013 Sport had VSC and TRAC, but no DAC or diff lock. The OffRoad package also has progressive valving in the front shocks, not sure about the rears, but probably so. Sports have digressive...

    Funny no one has answered you. Those are all OffRoad traction control features. They're all present in my 2015. Hope this is of help.

    WTB mud flaps/guards/whatever

    Looking for mud flaps for my 2015, left rear in particular. Anyone know if 3rd gen flaps even come close? Lots of THEM for sale but having a hard time with 2nd gen. Thanks all.

    Dealer rustproofing frames

    That's exactly what I was told they would do - pressure wash inside, blow dry to what extent possible, air dry a few hours, camera inspection. The wand they use has four nozzles on it to spray in all directions. It's long enough to reach to the front of the frame from the rear. Fed that tool to...

    2015 wheels

    Hell yes. I have a 2015 Off Road, run my snow tires on 17" TRD Sport wheels, and summer tires are on 17" FJ Cruiser wheels, that happened to be the same color as the body of the truck. Added bonus of the slightly wider stance from the FJ wheels is just right, too.

    Dealer rustproofing frames

    Yeah, my 2013 and 2015 were both in, they're going inside the front boxed-in portion of the frames, but no more. There's a very custom plastic block-off plug installed afterwards on each side where the frame begins being boxed, basically from the cab forward. A few more oval plugs further...

    Frame Replacement (Recall)

    Got my notice last week pertaining to my 2013. I'm in New England and keep 'em oiled, so no rust through. Says they'll be sending out a notice to apply undercoating of some sort in the near future if I don't have perforation. Personally, I don't get how Toyota has to be responsible for rusting...
