Well...the brake pedal is your friend - don't have it all the way down or you'll go nowhere - I think if you let it (brake) out just a little bit, you'll fake out the torque converter. At least that's what I have come to the conclusion... I have the brake out just enough to make the truck inch forward. At that point, go back and forth with the brake and gas to where you have a nice equilibrium. I wish I had some more concrete evidence to support you with, and what I have told you thus far may be extremely inaccurate. My apologies. However, I do know that with a little bit of practice, one can break the rear end loose on dry pavement. I'm sure there are some variables that may cause your rear end to have a more difficult experience breaking loose such as meaty tires, lack of power (i.e. headers, exhaust, etc.), and inexperience. If you have some crappy tires that you want to burn off before your next set, just play around with your truck. C'mon, it's a Tundra, it's going to hold up. You have no weight in the rear end - something has to give. I hope I have helped in the least bit. Good day.

*BY THE WAY* - I'm not advocating any exhibition of driving - Please, if you're going to mess around, make sure it's on a closed road or somewhere you won't get hurt. Thank you.
