Robby's Alaskan Tacoma Build

Sweet looking rig!! I have what may be a dumb question so bare with me... I also have an '06 with very similar mileage (126k) but have automatic transmission. Is your transmission "sealed" as well? Thinking about changing out my trans fluid but have heard mixed opinions on doing it with such high mileage. Have you had any issues since you changed your fluid out?

 

Thank you! Yes I think it's considered "sealed" but changing out the fluid is easy. I did notice a difference shifting in between gears and have had no adverse effects from doing it. But with me having a manual I'm not the person to ask. Wouldn't want to give you any bad info.

 

Had dealer change mine on 2009 at 115k full flush and it shifted better and torque converter lock up was more noticeable/better.
Many posts are negative on full flushes but new fluid always helps and I tow things so will be doing again in the future. A lot of guys on forum just want to drop the pan and clean the screen about 3 qts but most fluid is in the converter. Search for all the posts if interested. Don't forget to do the diffs and xfer sometime too.

 

Bx Built has finished my headlights! Can’t wait to install them

 

Took a little drive this last weekend. Alaska is starting to get warm again!

 

Took er for a drive.

installed some BX Built retrofits since I was on here last

 

Also got some new SCS Ray10s 17x9 -38 and a fresh set of Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws 285/75/17s annnnnd had my local off-road shop Green Tree Fab do a Body mount chop. I’m in love with the look!

my old set went onto my 3rd gen runner.

 

You still up here? This was Nick Key's old truck right? I used to offroad with him. I just grabbed a 2008 TRD Offroad Manual and live in Anchorage. HMU sometime you're in town if you want.
