    Most transmission are that way. The cold fluid makes the shifts rough. Most are programmed to delay cold shifts into fluid warms up. Even my 2019 does that.

    the a340 has all gears speed regulated regardless of lockup.

    squirt to the shift, then coast. OD off 3rd locks in 45-50. Depending on load. Get up to 50-55, turn on OD and let it lockup @50ish and coast. Helps to preemptively turn off OD to climb a hill slower because of traffic, as long as youre smooth, you're not burning extra fuel between 2-3krpm.

    My 4Runner had Pirelli Scorpions on it when I bought it. I hated those things, not real good in the rain, worse in the snow, and like you I replaced them with a set of Cooper's. You're going to like them. Never understood why the Scorpions were so bad with that tread pattern.

    Not sure if you were just raising the circlip or not, but next time I recommend the “no spring compressor” method. Probably takes a bit longer, but way safer.

    @VR6T I think my old coils are marked to be oem TRD's. pink yellow/yellow yellow. You are welcome to them for the cost of shipping.

    I know this doesn't help today, buuuuut.

    Weight reduction, mostly rust.
    Don't remember where I clipped this from, but I went through this identifying thing when I replaced mine.

    Well that only took all day ..... Luis came over thank God, and helped me figure it out. Pro tip of you have rough county springs and are going to put Bilstein 5100s on, just throw the springs out with the old shock body's and get factory springs

    looks like you're getting some green on the negative terminal post. Give it a scrub before you turn on the heat this fall. (house heat aka Thanksgiving day for you southern folk.)

    Pretty big bump back then, wasn't it? Limited at 125% of SR5.

    Or, perhaps more to the point, the RC SR5 was a pretty dang good value, tons of truck for a reasonable price.

    Many of us would jump for a v8, leather, limited 4x4 of any model at 32k today. Maybe even cartwheels.
