    Tortured 91 four-runner

    My daughter hates driving , drives only "jeep" type rides for vissibillity ....
    finnished off a 1987 Cherokee

    came home with a 91 4-runner , from a police/drug auction or the like

    worst feeling tranny (auto)I ever drove that worked (unpossitive and feels like rev-ing to high compared to the cherokee

    Pissed I used it for a dunebuggy in the 14" snowfall (heavy-wet) friday ......

    By rights it shouldn't even still have a tranny now ......I drove it through any thing in my way .....big-*** $300 tires did fine

    is this the way these puppys are .....I love the ride .....WAY Tougher than the cherrokee
    sweet interior ....

    but the tranny ????? feels like mashed potatoes


    In the beginning, the Earth was without form, and void.
    When one picks up some wood or metal or stone and shapes it into something usefull
    ... I beleive that it has to be a deliberate effort to disavow a creator.

    As you work these, and join them, you feel the force and the will of He
    who formed and shaped the very resorces that you now add your will and force to.
    Further one surely can know when your will and force is not aligned with His.

    Yep that auto is a slush box!

    Swap in a 5speed and the difference is night and day.

    You even free up some ponies that the auto eats.

    I did the swap in my 89 pickup and have never looked back.

    Have you ever really looked at the stock landcruiser drivetrain? a FJ40 has much more under it stock than a CJ-7 could DREAM OF!
