Sitting near Houston (from San Diego). Here's what I've learned so far

pulling the rear ds was the option I used, didn't have time to get and install the FROR kit. Went with the family. I brought the rear ds in case I needed it.

Have about 300-400 miles on my AT 4runner in FWD. surprisingly little torque steer. With the AT, putting it in Park and turning the engine off has the truck rolling down hills. Learned this painlessly, but interestingly it is intermittent, but frequent.  Ebrake now used frequently. LOL

I'm towing with the truck in 4h and trans in Park. With the no-park thing, I'm being extra careful to doublecheck that the hubs are unlocked before starting to tow. Had relied on hem blocking and it being dragged wih my last truck. I can't rely on that as an indicator since Park doesn't.

in deep sand, FWD is better than RWD. Heh.

Truck will do 80 with no vibes in FWD.
