What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[2TH4IST]

Got the GMRS all squared away. SWR on ch 1 - 1.15 swr, ch 15 - 1.19 swr, ch 30 - 1.32 swr. Absolutely perfect, all under 2 swr.

Also after filling up with fuel I'm now at 12 mpg's city driving. Thinking of doing a "hard" reset by leaving the battery disconnected for a few hours. To relearn everything. This is post ccv elbow fix.

Also ordered up the house battery, and solar panel to start collecting the stuff for the end of this build. Solar is a renogy 250w bifacial 16bb panel. It puts out a nice 13 amps and 22v. I was going to use a 200w renogy shadow flux, but it only put out 8 amps and 42v. The charge time calculation was so much shorter I went with the 250w panel.

It was time for a pair of front shocks

Took me way too long (fists of ham) but I got these on. Forgot the battery to my impact AND a 1/2" drive 19mm socket ( RE: the tire iron). Out with the 5100s, in with the 6112s.

Just getting down into the weeds with this sweet little 4 runner.

Had a fun few hours yesterday eve crawling around the underside of my 4Runner (automatic) in a public parking because the damned thing randomly decided it wants to drive in every shift position, even reverse and neutral - though of course I can force it into neutral with the engine off.

AAA guy helped me push it backwards out of the spot in neutral. Drove the few blocks home, felt like it was jumping into lower gears going up hills.

Never had any transmission issues, fluids are good, no grinding or clanking or shifter issues otherwise. Linkage superficially seems fine from underneath but don't have a second person to give me a visual on movement.

My adventure today was finding out that all the 'good' shops in the area can't get me in until next week. Doesn't seem like a shot transmission, hoping it's something simple I can figure out before then.
