Probably not doable and totally not worth it. Toyota locks everything down and encrypts....
Also, MTS is a feature that is not really very useful in the real world.
Everyone who I know locally that has a trail with it...says they have never used it and find it completely worthless on the trail. They say it is impossible to tell if it is making any difference at all. ATRAC is all you really need.
You would be much better off spending your time/money on tires or ground clearance.
I'm sure someone will chime in saying it is the best thing since sliced bread... If you want to do wild stuff off-road get select-able lockers. It is really the only way to go and have the predictability you need in extreme conditions. ATRAC is great, but it's not predictable or graceful enough to give the driver the control that is needed on extreme obstacles. It's great in simple slick conditions and sometimes better than lockers on off camber wet/slick ground. Less crabbing than lockers in those conditions.
Bottom line, best 3 upgrades possible in order 1. Tires 2. Ground clearance (lift) 3. Lockers
