    1st on your list should be those VC gaskets. I'd be more than willing to bet they are leaking down and causing what looks like other leaks. I'll almost guarantee your rear main is fine, and possibly your trans pan gasket. That VC leak will run down to the back of the block and get blown back onto the trans pan. I'd do those first then give everything a wipe down to see whats leaking.

    Other than that, your list looks good. And don't worry about the Detroit Axle rack, it's recommended by many of us, myself included. I have one in mine. If you can't find OEM PS hoses get suosong from Rockauto. It's also what I have. Oh, and I have the Toytecs too. Don't get the cheap ones. Step up to the Alumas like @shifty` and @805Tundra have.

    And remember, OEM or Felpro only on gaskets.

    @bmf4069 and @The Black Mamba I appreciate the advice. I'm so glad that it (probably) isnt my rear main seal, I'm a student at 2 colleges so I have no money lol. The list actually isnt in order I was just throwing it out there
    Also I plan on getting the Toytec Aluma Boss 2.0 Front and Aluma Rears.
    Good to hear about the Detroit Axle. I've heard mixed reviews on Susong.
    I'll get my VCG done first
