I have a 12ft piece of the 2x6 left if anyone wants to build some.

Drained and refilled tranny today! 4 quarts came out, 4 back in. Shifts super smooth on the up shift.
Only picture I have of it:
Only picture I have of it:
Books say 2.1 on drain and fill. And then I've read about the flush process some use, but I too plan to just drain and fill. Mine is shifting fine and want to see how AT fluid looks. Did you just drain from drain pan plus or did you do more to get the 4.0 qts versus 2.1 books and owners manual say should drain?
I was expecting about 2 quarts as well but it seems as if the norm is about 4. I made sure the vehicle was on level surface, drained the fluid from the pan for about 15-20 minutes, "snugged" (per the FSM) the bolt, and refilled the same amount I took out. I drove it about 20 minutes to get the transmission up to temp and then rechecked it and it was spot on. I'll probably do it the next two or three oil changes to continue to get old fluid out.
when I did my filter it also said 2-2.5 qts, but I got about 5 in the drain pan.
I think the book may be off.

The flushing process is very easy and very effective at leaving you with clean-looking fluid.
3.0 exactly. Hmmmm. I do have a 1" life difference front to back due to an overstite when the SLEE kit was installed by previous owner. That would make some difference. Shoulda raised the front a bit. Next time.........
Installed new SS brake hoses all the way around & a 2.5" lift, Flushed the cooling system removed the green and replaced with red, did the PHH, replaced the fan clutch fluid.
What's our next trip?
I'm up for a trip most any time.
My buddy was a big fan of your sliders. If you want to PM me a price for that 2x6 I will ask him if he is interested.
Paging @CrowleyFJ40. I guess the tornado alley cruiser site is down. Several peeps from the mo4wd club wanted more info on the fall crawl.
Wow - Rob - When you get an 80 and . .it looks good btw! 
Next trip SMORR July 7-9th ! Thursday night until Sat noon when you decide should you stay or should you go? Stay is better but we might have to leave you alone at SMORR. What a bad.... deal. What man wants to be left alone at SMORR? The audacity.
I know you have float, R.. I am serious about deer flies. Wicked.

Old 22RE ready to come out and new one on the engine stand. New Seats out of a Camry to make my old back feel better. One E locker ready to install and hope to have another one soon. This thing might actually be ready to roll...
I shipped them off to Zuk @ gearinstalls in Chandler, AZ. They have been in my shed for a while waiting for today. A bit of coin but based on what we saw of the set from Sturgis and @milemarker60 experience of local, I don't want to mess around saving a couple bucks and have trail failure.
