    Haha sorry, I read sanding in your original post and I totally forgot. Why'd you just paint over the back emblems?

    Anyone know how much ATF the A340F has? I bought it completely drained. The Haynes manual says 2.1 quarts but it seems like it has more?

    I used the Tundra LBJ because the taper near 5/8", I just passed a drill through it and my heim steering bolted to that. Want to add a double sheer tab on bottom, but this will work for now. Tacoma LBJ has wider taper and needs reducer cone to work. (I have this in old blown lbj). Bolted right up and geometry is very close.

    Yeah I saw how TC originally sells this kit with a double sheer gusset - are you going to fab one of those yourself?

    Picked up some needed goodies at Harbor Freight so I can do my cheap brake job. Bosch pads and rotors off Amazon warehouse (thanks @mstgeer for the hint) for about $40. Should hold me over until I can do OEM or, perhaps, a Tundra upgrade. Holy crap this place is dangerous to your wallet.

    I've done a mod or two
    A lot more than 2 quarts, that might be what the pan holds but the TC and all the valve bodies plus cooler hold more. Get 10 quarts and return what you don't use. I like Castrol Transmax Dexron for Toyota trannies. You can get a 4 quart jug for like $16. My recommendation would be to pre fill the torque converter and pan until the dipstick says full cold, the run it check and fill to full cold again. Let it warm up all the way then slowly pour more until you reach full hot.
