    Hey guys... I have been a member for a while, but never had anything to contribute - Until now! I have a 2005 TRD Sport (my 3rd Tacoma) which just hit 60k. Went to the Stealer for the major service point. Long story short he wanted $900 to change plugs, front/rear diffs and transfer case fluids (standard plugs and dino fluids). I read some posts here and purchased iridium plugs, Mobil1 75-90 for front and transfer and Lucas 80-90 & LSD oil for rear. Total cost $200 - includes torque wrench! I cannot Thank all of you enough for a great big hand in these tough economic times!!!!! Keep up the good posts.......:)

    Welcome, I am currently in Warwick but we are moving to Cumberland within a month or so.
    I did all my fluid changes and plugs for about $80, but used denso oil for the cases and factory plugs.

    Thought I would revive this thread vs. starting a new one. I may be relocating to RI and I just thought I would see if there was anyone on here from up there that could tell me what it is like. Also, are there places to OR and ride dirt bikes?
