From what I understand I can still use it on-road, since the center diffs never completely lock anyway.

I have heard that the real FJ's handling comes out in the MANUAL transmission and that's why I bought it. Not putting down the AUTOMATIC at all, but in this particular case the VSC might be a better fit for the MANUAL FJ than the AUTOMATIC FJ, which is in 2WD for normal driving.

Just a layman's educated theory.
Amen Brother, I love the way my MT6 handles, especially in the rain and snow. I must admit, it would be fun from time to time to be able to throw the rear end around just for fun like my old Bronco and Wrangler could. The FJ is sooooo much more than those were I'll sacrifice the playing.
