    Why do I have auto LSD on my 4x4?

    Yes, but at 25 mph. On my 2015 SR5 4WD, it does this. If you turn off TRAC by pushing the button (so, the TRAC light comes on), it will return to normal once I reach 25 mph. However, push and hold for 3 seconds and it turns off VSC too. In that case, they both stay off even above that speed...

    CB or HAM in your Rig?

    I install 2m/440 ham mobiles in every vehicle I primarily drive. I have been licensed for many years and enjoy being able to use those radios when near other hams. I have used CB radios from time to time. I currently intend to add both radio types to my new 4Runner to maximize potential...

    Annual state vehicle inspections

    As already stated, Oklahoma has no inspections at all. However, police can enforce the laws, though I have never heard of any tickets other than headlights.

    LT tires need more air pressure.

    This is the most informative discussion I've seen on this topic. I will soon be getting tires for my new 4Runner and now have a much better understanding of the choices. Thanks!
