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!

Touting ownership of 25 year old jeans is next-level dumb.

I have 25+ years of owning, driving, and maintaining Toyota trucks. Your attempt at clarity falls short. Carry on!

ooooh, you got me :rolleyes:

@calvincartier you claim this is one of the best SUV's but post a thread titled "How to shift gear smoothly" Oh the irony!

Keep telling yourself that.

This transmission leaves a lot to be desired for the car price. I'd go as far as to say it terrible. Makes me consider selling this thing.

Does the Toyota software try to check for updates upon wifi connection? How often does it check? If I turn my ride on, but drive away from my wifi network within a few minutes, not long enough for a download, will the car display a unfinished update? I opted out of connected services...

Nice setup. Do you notice an increase in rocks flung up against the side?
