The transmission is horrible. From the jerky shifting whether warm or cold to the reports of overheating on steady inclines, it's bad.

I've observed the same as reported by the OP and feel the same way about this transmission. It's crap.

Back to the original topic of this thread, the aftermarket tracker. I’m not discounting the privacy issues created by the DCM and CS though. I’m glad to come across this thread. My OBD port is black on a 26 Plat. I just removed this from my ride:

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

A 1.25" lift is considered a mid-travel lift for Toyota's. At that height, the aftermarket UCA requirement would come from additional down travel your strut might provide. If additional down travel is added, your stock UCA doesn't have the range and will be damaged.

Since this is an opinion thread, PPF is like getting floor mats for your floor mats.

Nice rig!! Any chopping required to get the wheel/tire setup to work?

@208mutt-runner please update the thread with how the transmission settles.

How does it feel compared to old tranny and loaner?

I see. What you described happened to my 6th Gen. I have a 26 hybrid, purchased in January. I drove <1 mile between occurrence and it being serviced at the dealer. They drained/refilled my transmission and wasn't able to reproduce the issue, but they did find my fluid level to be short ~ 1...

@208mutt-runner sorry to read about your transmission issues. How many miles did you drive it after you experienced the clunk?

I currently own both. IMHO the 5th is better in terms of feeling like a truck or off road vehicle. My 6th gen feels like a crossover. Maybe it’s the Platinum trim vs TRD ORP. After getting a Platinum, I have re-kindled love for my 5th Gen. The only real standout thing better is gas mileage...

For those who didn't use silicone or thread sealant or loctite, have you seen leakage?

My 26 Platinum came with XL tires...FWIW.

During the Montana winter, did you drive in AWD or 4HI?

If you pull the dipstick out 4-5", let it sit retracted for a few minutes, then wipe, dip, check, it helps with the streaking. It's a quick stab into the oil pool, my theory of course.

2000 Tundra (sold, owned for 21 years) 2020 Tundra (sold) 2021 Tundra 2020 4Runner TRD ORP 2026 4Runner Platinum All had/have a better transmission compared to the 26 4Runner. At times, this 4Runner feels like I'm strapped to an atom smasher.

Nice rig!
