What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I thought i read on TW that Synthetic gear oil was not good to run? I think i read in a gear thread!

 

Trying to find it.

 

Just squeezed the trigger and got a Camper shell put on my DCSB. I went with the GB sport with out a roof rack

 

I may just have to try this.. is it just screw on? Where did you get yours from? I would like to order one of thost gray ones...

 

fuck...

 

I have read the posts after this and just adding some information I learned from multiple sources, take it as you wish. The correct transfer case fluid replacement according to toyota is LF. There are some knowledgeable people who believe that using LT or GL-5 gear oil will cause damage to the soft metal bushings (copper, brass) used in the synchros, because of high phosphate levels in those oils. They only replacement other than Toyotas that I could find was royal Purples Synchromax.
Royal Purple list it in their specs. I have used it for 30k miles in all types of conditions. From blizzards in New England to high heat 4wheeling in the low deserts of California. No problems.
Brief disclaimer: I do not work for Royal Purple. I am not a certified mechanic. There is some discussions that replacing the transfer case fluid with anything but Toyota LF voids the warranty. When I went into a dealership in New England and asked for LF fluid the parts guy treated me like I was an idiot and told me they use 90w gear oil out of a barrel, so there is that.

 

Got the new wheels and tires on

 

That looks bad. Bet they will keep your truck for days!

 

Luckily I am taking it to the dealer to have the toytec suspension re-torqued. But yeah, I expect them to keep her for the week. Hopefully not too long since I have to drive across PA next weekend.

 

Mine was not that bad so when I took mine in for the recall they just torqued the bolts and sent me on my way.

 

Where's everyone buying their Method wheels for the cheap?

 

i'll be sure to update tomorrow evening.

 

Turned out solid! What size wheels and tires did you go with?

 

thanks, 285/70r17 KO2s and 17x8.5 method NVs

 

Just installed AVS in track vent shades and this is happening tomorrow

 

Installed my ARC titanium shift knob leftover from a Subaru WRX I owned a few years ago.

 

Im in Canada but I got them cheap on sale from 4x4 Parts, I think ordering from Method or Baja Kits may of been the best prices i found though, just not worth it for me with duty and exchange rate.

 

Most important mod so far....

 

Arc, fancy
