You know what i noticed about my 91 yota pickup? ... everytime i take my yota wheeling, it drives better after.

for the past few weeks, ive been having trouble shifting. esp 5th to 4th and from neutral to 1st. I went wheeling this past weekend and now my p/u drives awesome! the tranny is shifting so NICe and SMOOTH! so cooL! ive noticed this before. the same thing always happens after i go wheeling. if i dont wheel for a while, it starts to act up again!

my yota was made for the dirt. it likes to become "one" with itself from time to time.

Call my crazy, but i noticed my 5spd shifted alot smoother after using 4hi the other day for snow. Maybe it lubes someting in 4w?

Hmmmm.....usually after I go wheeling there are new noises coming from either the front or rear end. Usually a "clunk" or "tic" or "screech" or "bang".

Yup, my 4runner heals itself. I used to have a cooling leak, but not anymore. Lots of other little things too. My friend's honda passport does the same thing, but to a greater degree.

We think there's a "conservation of breakage" law though. That means that when a part on our trucks heals itself then that same part on some other truck in the world breaks. That explains what Adam goes through.

Yea, i kinda notice the same thing after 4x4 ing. Seems like suspension is a lot smoother. When it rains it shifts better too.

My rig runs better (accelerates, shifts, etc.) when it's nice and shiny clean. It rides better/smoother after a good wheeling workout. Spend a weekend wheeling then go home and wash my rig and if feels like new.

i guess maybe its about time for me to go offroad. my clutch has been acting up on me...
