I think the 08 is a little too techy for old fashioned off roading. I noticed you have the same car as me, but in a V8. Have you taken it off road and found a way to enjoy the old-fashioned off roading?

What ever happened to old fashioned ON/OFF switches. I totally agree with you wing, the system should have a feature that allows complete disabling of all traction control systems.
...
Here is the "Andy Mod" that will disable all electronic assistance:

Disabling VSC & TRAC - 2001-2002 4Runner with VSC & TRAC Systems - YotaTech Forums

Also, to better understand ATRAC check this link:

Understanding & Using ATRAC II+ - Toyota 120 Platforms Forum

And, nope, I really haven't had time to wheel it yet. Too busy with work. But I plan to start working on the 4R and get it ready to wheel.
