    I wouldn't mind going back to a stick but that'd be more involved wouldn't it?

    You already have to get a new ecm for a 4x4 swap, correct? Just find one for a 5 speed. And then all you need is the clutch pedal/master cylinder and appropriate lines. Then the interior trim for the shifter.

    Of course Ive never done one, but it seems simple enough.

    you know what works great on windows - this stuff

    https://waxdirect.com/product/best-waterless-car-wash-and-wax/

    every now and then, costco will run their product lineup in a total package. All of the products are top notch - the waterless wash/wax though... that stuff is great on the windows.

    [​IMG]


    Hell, even when I'm out of that stuff, just use a quality glass cleaner and then follow it with a little wax.

    Here's one I bet you didn't know (I learned it from my buddy's father when we were just kids), take a potato and cut in half. rub it all over the windshield. Wipe off with paper towels. Result: Potato-RainX. lol. Worked when I tried it as a kid, not sure how it stands up to today's products though. :rofl:

    All that gasket maker stuff was scraped off both the transmission and the pan

    20191017_155034.jpg

    20191017_174825.jpg

    And now today



    What do you think @Empty_Lord @Speedytech7 use gasket maker instead? I bought a new gasket to use when I cracked apart my pan for the first time since it was leaking. Went wheeling a few times and it never leaked until today.

    Hmm...this is a new product on Amazon recently, Zesuper winches. Never heard of them before, but really inexpensive for a 9500 waterproof synthetic line winch.

    https://www.amazon.com/ZESUPER-9500...jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

    Not too many reviews on them yet but the ones that are up are largely positive

    What I think (even though you didn't ask :luvya:)... good thing you're going to be changing transmissions. In the meantime, toyota does offer an actual gasket for the A340E. I have one sitting here (ordered it a year ago I think lol). Or just use that Toyota FIPG which is what it calls for anyway. In fact, Gunny tried to talk me out of ordering the actual gasket. I just ordered both to have on hand, figured I'd decide which route to go once I got to the point of dropping the pan.

    Kinda dumb no lie, gonna make it wait until I see a change in the rust. Is that smart? Just wanna be not too much of a Jay, but in the same sense don't want it to fly out of hand.

    I guess its personal preference, but I cant stand rain-x repellant or others like it. Feels like Im in hyperspace haha. Just strains my eyes differently or something I guess. That and I found that if you keep the windshield clean regularly you get that effect to a degree anyways.
