Topic: Has anyone wheeled with an factory auto tranny out of a 91 runner? Ideas?

[joeycool00]

I have a 91 4runner that i got and am trying to build a street-able off roader. I have never wheeled with an auto tranny before  i've only had early 80's toyo trucks with 5 speeds and 22r's  i'm just not familiar with what i can do with that stock tranny

The automatic transmissions are fine for offroading depending on how hard you are on the truck and the kind of wheeling you will be doing.. what kind of wheeling are you going to be doing? mountain trails, rock crawling, mud? a tranny oil cooler might be a wise upgrade just prevent the tranny from getting too hot.

mild rocks, maybe just for showing off  but mostly mountain trails and snow camp

Gotcha. You should have no problem running an auto then. Should work great for your needs.
