Recently the transmission started slipping in reverse, then shuddering forward. After waiting several months for the trans builder to do nothing I decided to give it a crack myself. This is a 22R bolted to a Ford C4 transmission. custom adapter to bolt the toyota bellhousing to the C4. The torque converter is toyota in the front, ford in the rear. The flex plate had broken in times past and I replaced it with a cheap knockoff. Well that was a mistake as it wobbled and smoked my trans pump. The oh so fine, almost powder metal flakes bound up a valve in the valve body causing hydraulic pressure loss.

Thanks so much! i would love to put more pictures on here. it was a total PITA to send them from my phone to my email,download them, copy/paste them, then post them. Am i missing something or is it like the old Pirate days?
 
You can upload pics directly from your phone if you’re posting from it.

If you prefer to type on a computer, then you can make the post and then click edit from your phone and add pics. The opposite also works: post pics from phone and then click edit to add text via computer.

I post from my phone and it’s not that bad. Just download and insert.
 
Awesome. Always loved this thing.

I post from my phone or iPad. Posting pics isn’t that bad. You definitely took the long way.
Tap that thing that looks like a postcard, at the top of the post window. That’ll allow you to access your photos. Sometimes it’s a PITA to find the pics I want to post. I have a “Post” album, in my photos. Pre select the pics and put them in the album. That’ll save you some hunting time.
Hope to see you on the trail, in the fall when I come out to wheel with our mutual friends. 🍻
 
The most simplistic killer rig. Kick ass.
 
One of my favorite rigs and yes love the c4 and wish it wasn't the only one.
 
I've yet to see anything quite as insane as that run you did at Sand Hollow a few years back. :rasta:
 
I think that's the only picture I've ever seen with it sitting on flat ground. :laughing: I've watched videos of that rig doing some crazy shit at heights and angles that make my balls tingle just watching.


Gotpropane, how long have you owned that rig?
it used to be a customers truck in the 90's. flower delivery, 2wd, with a big fiberglass enclosure on the back with ac for teh flowers. i got it from them and put a regular bed on it and drove it for years like that. its evolved into what it is until '06. Same same since then :)
