I’m super late to a response on this post, but for whoever it will help, the answer is Yes. Tazr Mini allows you to remove this ridiculous safety feature.
I appreciate this write-up -- good insight. I traded-in my Gladiator for a Lexus ES-350 FSport since I was moving into the city life, but I miss my JT. Now I'm trying to decide on whether to get a 4R or another Gladiator, maybe even a JL. Cheers.
