What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks Bailey!

 

Thanks! I literally was about to install my Softopper until the hard topper was available.

The new owner of that Softopper loves it too. Both toppers are great for their purposes.

 

Use a pump, do attempt to pour in with a funnel. It will dribble out just barely when you come to the top. Also, how much is that fluid for the T-Case? I use OEM Toyota fluid from Amazon, but it is $30 for a can

 

I’m aware, I always use a pump now, the shit is messy clean or dirty and stinky, I even use the nitrile gloves.

It’s like $17 1L and synthetic, there’s a few sellers online.

Didn’t want to put in 75W90, some members report dealers are putting this in the Tcase. Another reason I don’t use the dealer for fluid changes, really don’t use them for anything.

 

Amazon flash sale for $28. Looks like a good deal with good reviews. Ordered. Price good for 5 more hours.

For the record, I dod not use

$29 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90 in the T-case, but specific fluid from Toyota for the T-case, hence the $30 a can

Has anyone used these? If so, how do you feel about them?

Threw a 40" tool chest in the truck box today, but not entirely happy since I have a DCSB and feel it takes up to much box space.

Any ideas on to how compactly store a recovery strap, shackles, tool kit, axe, hatchet etc? Debating a bed divider?

I have the same chest in my other truck, but don't really worry since its a 7 ft box. I'm obsessed with having basic tools, and survival equipment with me at all times for some reason.

 

Got my Meso LED Turn signals!!!
THANK-YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!!

 

Put my new wheels and tires on. Need CMC now.

 

Is this what the 3rd Gen specs in the Tcase? I read it was straight 75w not GL5 but less like GL4 meaning less sulfur.

And I see you read that thread

 

I searched everywhere for 2016 toyota transfer case fluid and this was the only genuine toyota product I could find.
Happy to change it if I am wrong, but someone please point me to a better full-syn

 

Check out this thread specially post #26

Is that the 200$ knock off one?

 

Lol yes... Depending on your perspective of who knocked off who

 

Is it not noticeable that it’s a knock off?

 

Post #28 says transfer case is LF type oil, which is what I bought. Only difference is it is

$29 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75W-90 LF vs straight 75W.Should I be concerned?

 

Not sure about a noticeable increase in gas mileage, but those things do seem to catch a decent amount of oil even in naturally aspirated engines based on what people are showing in the catch can after only a few months.
