    I hope you saw the sarcasm in the overland part haha
    But they do look like they’d be fun for stuff like that.


    No one in my family drink coffee, so we don’t have anything. I only drink it when I hunt/ work days in a row.

    Tagged my rear diff again today on the same rock on the same f****g trail as before :annoyed:

    Can't get a socket on it now at all...gonna see if I can maybe bend the metal out of the way with a screwdriver or chisel, unless anyone had any other ideas.

    Negative, if the hammer and chisel doesn't work I'll just take it to a local shop and have them fix it...or just dedicate a whole day every 30k miles to changing out the oil via sucking the old stuff out through the fill hole lol.

    My main concern going forward though is that if it starts to leak via the drain plug from getting hit and knocked loose, I won't be able to tighten it.

    Ya, now I'm finding a bunch that are similar on Amazon. The reason I asked is I saw the TG one and was wondering if it was the same... if it was the same, I knew there wouldnt be a (hood) clearance issue with the top flange were it bolts shut.

    Worked on my daughter's 99' Tacoma while she is visiting a college. I think it turned out pretty good for a truck with 230k.
