Damn....guess I should have looked a little closer. I need a truck but fear the new tranny in the tacos.

Why do you fear it? It's a 5 speed. Gets better mileage. Shifts great. Even auto downshifts downhill to save on brakes. Solid proven trans from 2005-2015. If You want a new tacoma than go manual. They have shifting logic issues.

Oh man....I didn't even realize they did the new ones in manual. Man you're making it hard on me to not go check them out.

Just an update. Did some maintenance before my Moab trip coming up in a few weeks. The 4runner started devoloping a random misfire. Finally through a code and was cylinder 1 misfire. Injector failed resistance test.
Ordered up a set of OEM cleaned injectors with new o-rings for $60 shipped on eBay. All 6 passed resistance test.
The injector that failed was on the easy side. No removal of intake manifold needed so decided to swap just the three passenger side injectors till another fails.
At this time I decided to clean the throttle body since it was off. It was pretty bad. Also pulled and cleaned the IAC.
PCV valve broke during removal. I had to screw a screw into the body of the valve and then fish the broken pieces out valve cover.
Also changed front/rear diff and t-case fluids with synthetic 75-90w gear oil. New 5w-30w Dyno oil and filter. Last but not least cleaned my hot air intake filter.
Ohh and patched my AC line with some quick steel puddy. Refilled with ac pro. AC is colder than ever and working awesome. Will need this for sure in the desert.
She seems to be happy for now. Running great. Hoping she can handle 1000 mile round trip with some 100* Moab offroading.

Picked up some wheels and tires for wife's Tacoma. 255/75r17 (32"×10") duratracs wrapped on some Level 8 mk6 17x8 -10. Trying to fit them on a stock 2012 Tacoma sr5. Going to be a tight fit.

Did some minor trimming. At turn and flex it still rubs. So got to go back this weekend and trim some more. But for now at least the wife can drive it.
I can really feel the 2" difference when driving. No more mom truck feeling. HAHA.
