    Not today but yesterday I finished changing rear diff, front diff, and t-case fluid with minimal headache other than a small rain shower halfway through and my cheapie harbor freight fluid pump taking a crap on the last quart or so. I just bought it a few weeks ago with 124,000 miles and the previous owner stated he had never changed any of them. Front diff and t-case fluid looked brand new. The rear diff looked a little worn but nothing out of the ordinary. I think I'll be changing rear every 20,000 miles and the front and t-case every 50 or so during my ownership. Next I'll have to decide on the dreaded transmission fluid change debate as there is ZERO consensus on here or at the dealers as to whats best. Literally called 2 dealers in Baton Rouge and one said "Toyota recommends full fluid exchange we don't even do drain and fills" and the other said "Toyota recommends drain and fills we don't offer full exchange." Decisions decisions.

    Tranny Drain and fill fairly straight forward. Replace same amount that drained out. You will get 3-4 new or fresh fluid and you can survey what current fluid looks like. Fresh fluid is never a bad thing.

    Holy cow! I have a decked box, bedrack with tent and about 1,000lbs in the drawers.. Towing our 34ft TT I get 9-11. I just recently got 15.75 on two tanks in a row around town

    If you want one that bolts directly in without needing to drill or add rivnuts to your truck get in touch with me.

    Well my emblems are on order from a bunch of different places and will require the services of a body shop so mine may be a month or so out so you’ll definitely beat me lol I love this forum but it’s costing me so much money seeing what everyone else is doing.

    For the past month my interior has been totally apart . Rattling like crazy. Got my rear window motor fixed (biggest pain in the ass) sound deadened back wall and floor, leather wrapped all the seats, got my custom dash with AJT knobs installed, and much more behind the scenes like running my mic for bluetooth calls hidden above my mirror, etc. May not look like much but it's been hell. So happy to see it together!

    Also heres an update on the claybar and wax after the sun went down 20190714_200932.jpg

    Could you tell me where you got the seat covers please? I am really starting to get sick of the interior on my truck. It is very durable but a pain in the arse to clean.

    Clazzio!!! I couldn't be a bigger fan. I got a steal on them. Dealer pricing from a guy I met on Ebay took me down to $350 then between Ebay bucks I had saved up and Ebay's black Friday event I got them for a little over $200 total and I couldn't be happier with the quality. Theres about a quarter inch of memory foam on the covers themselves so the seats are SO much comfier on top of just looking nice. I havent found a reliable heated seat kit so I held off but the perforations allow for heated and cooled seats. Also if you watch a spill test on YouTube the drink will not penetrate. They are hands down the best seats on the market for me and my needs

    So far I am very pleased. I did a 2100 mile trip from southern Colorado to northwestern Montana the week after getting them and I have not had any issues or wear. Theyre super quiet on the road and held their own well offroad in glacier national park.

    It appears as if he has a sheet sander in the top left of the picture where the chrome is gone on the grille surround.

    I added some cut-to-shape C2 reflective tape to my doors, just a little added safety feature. The rears look like it was meant to be.

    It came on my tundra, no real complaints other than it not being 100% waterproof.

    Were you in lower Delaware this past weekend. I think I saw your truck. I remember thinking damn that thing is tough looking. If it was you it would have been nice to get a close up of all the mods

    Installed the front pro swaybar. Already had the rear swaybar for the past year or so, and it seems that all the online dealers have the front one on sale right now. Most are asking $186, but I found one letting them go for $156 with free shipping, so I decided to get 'er done!

    I lost my keys today:(. Actually for about the last week. I have a spare set I’m using, but all my trailer, campers and shop keys are gone. But worst of all my Tundra key chain!
