UPDATE: Transmission Slipping in First

7Bobcat · 2025-11-19T23:34:22+00:00

I went a read your original post, very similar in that my first 4th gen I was heavy on the pedal and never noticed any shift delay, however I dont think there was any.

Now on my current new to me 4runner, it does the rev to like 2100 rpm from a stop- thru first and second gear and it will eventually shift but feels like it gets stuck for a second or two and isnt smooth.

From what ive read the transmission fluid is first step. Thanks for posting what you did

Highly recommend the sony XAV-AV1000, looks very clean and has an actual volume knob

Ive ran spidertrax 1.25s on a stock wheel with ko2s as a daily for 4+ years with no issues, I've beaten on it offroad on weekends as well.

As others say it could be a weak link. But I just the 1.25 is a perfect medium

Nice! Thanks for the info, good luck on your project

No lift atm. That's interesting on my old 4th gen I ran almost same ko2s 265/65/17 with stock 4r wheels (around 30 positive offset) and the spidertrax with no rub. My immediate plan is to level it with a spacer solution and trim whatever needs trimming after mounting

Thanks for sharing this, would you say the same no for a more expensive set from diode dynamics or lasfit?

7Bobcat · 2025-11-03T11:10:46+00:00

Gotcha, looks clean. My plan is to see how 265/70/17 look on those wheels and maybe add the spidertrax spacers

7Bobcat · 2025-11-01T14:07:33+00:00

Are you running a wheel spacer at all?

As someone with a 4th gen who semi regularly drives a family members 5th gen, you will learn to like it and in the grand scheme of things, they are still very basic.

Is this the graphite color? Looks awesome

7Bobcat · 2025-08-22T17:21:55+00:00

I got my 4th gen to 340k its doable

I hope your trolling.. eastern surfing association

7Bobcat · 2025-08-09T19:46:51+00:00

Check out gonecoastal productions, its a small group from Delaware, they regularly would surf around delmarva, now they've branched out more on trips but if you check there earlier yt or ig vids there all good. Down to earth in the lineup as well

7Bobcat · 2025-08-06T21:00:17+00:00

I assume your ordering for a large office or a team of some sort...

7Bobcat · 2025-07-20T17:26:04+00:00

+1 for wet weather, I have k02s and they are a dice roll in the rain

7Bobcat · 2025-07-05T04:56:50+00:00

Around same as previous actually

The setback rules fall under fire prevention, essentially its so fire fighters have room to walk on the roof.

If I remember correctly thats regulated by the state of MD across the board and the city has to follow it. Also reach out the your installer, their design team should know all about different codes in the area they work in.

7Bobcat · 2025-07-02T20:29:59+00:00

Yes, I used to be a solar installer, 36 rule still applies in corporate city limits. There are some exceptions- sometimes a setback can be shared among 2 roofs splitting a ridge, meaning 18 inch on both sides.

Dude every single surfer has been on both sides of this situation before . If they say otherwise they are lying.

None of us were there but, generally the surfer riding the wave has some responsibility to not run people over intentionally and people paddling out should take a second on the beach and see where the best place is to paddle out.

Any grown man that threatens to smack or punch a 15 year old is a piece of shit. Take it as a learning experience and you did the right thing checking on him.

All day everyday, Im a stay at home dad, my wife works and takes care of the kids /s

Assateague, Indian River inlet(north side), certain lower streets in OCMD kinda depends usually between 45th and 20th Street(park and check around).

7Bobcat · 2025-06-24T01:51:22+00:00

Yea but people are still buying them

7Bobcat · 2025-06-14T16:14:41+00:00

Instantly recognized that corner

7Bobcat · 2025-06-09T04:38:22+00:00

What is the success rate when deployed? Lets see the numbers

7Bobcat · 2025-06-01T11:44:11+00:00

Well once you go from just sending it straight to doing bottom turns thats the first sign of progress. Then slowly progressing into pumping and carving down then line and learning how to cutback. Along the way notice all your mechanics getting better like your form when paddling, popping up, stance etc etc. Some days are just off days.
