    Personally speaking here I don't use it all!

    Rock climbing, get better accessories and learn how to climb.

    Good for nothing except one-up feeding hay from the back of the ute, which used to be (maybe still is?) common practice on farms. Plenty of cockies beeen killed this way too.

    lol seriously This is my first patrol and when I saw it.
    I thought to myself. um why! haha.

    Coming from a prado everything was automatic and auto idle under any load and condition.

    I wonder would it help up a steep parking ramp if you were stuck halfway then had to move again?

    Basically theyre a remnant from pre ecu vehicles. Once needed but no more.

    And no to your question. Handbrake start like your driving instructor taught you.

    It is handy when using the PTO winch as the winch speed is relative to engine speed on the patrol, not the gear selected. Its also handy when doing a base camp battery recharge, so the alternator is pumping in more to the batteries at say 1500rpm instead of 500rpm.
