    I'm honestly surprised that no one has stepped up to help you here.

    My weekends are pretty well packed for the next 3 weekends. How do you feel about doing it during the week after work? and what time do you normally get off work?

    Do you have the tools? Honestly replacing whole leafs in easier than doing just an aal . If you have a jack, jackstands, and the right sockets you can do it in less than a couple hours I bet. An extra set of hands makes it easier but not needed. I've been super busy the last month and this weekend doesn't look any better b/c I have to work Saturday. I'm in Gwinnett and if you can't find anyone to help you or don't want to do it alone, drive over to my house and I'm sure we can get those installed after work some time.

    I think I have everything I need, just having a second set of eyes/hands/skills would be most valuable to me. I really don’t want to fuck anything up. Trying to avoid learning the hard (expensive) way. :)
    Really appreciate the offers for a weekday. Believe me, I know weekends are short and tight.
    I’m open anytime at or after 2pm on 3/12, 3/16, and/or 3/18.

    Toyota LF 75w transfer case oil is proprietary (expensive!) and has snake-oil ingredients for keeping some of the internal parts from corroding. Kinda like the WS auto trans fluid scenario. Probably not needed but if you have issues before your 60k warranty’s up and you aren’t running it...

    Royal Purple claims to have an equivalent, IDK if it really is.

    If it makes you feel any better, unless you’ve been fording deep water or driving in 4wd a substantial portion of your 30k, it’s a waste to change in the short interval. I checked mine (loosened the drain bolt and let it drip a couple times onto a paper towel and it was perfectly clear, so I immediately closed it back up. Most TW threads also claim their Tcase fluid looks new @ 30k change.

    The diffs are spinning all the time and a different story. Wish I had changed those earlier. Here’s a relevant thread on the Tcase fluid for whatever it’s worth...

    I’d help but I’m out East for a while

    Great info, thanks!
    I changed the rear diff (with Mobil1
    $30 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)
    75W-90) and it was nasty. I’ll do the front diff soon for good measure. Maybe I’ll hold off on the TC.

    Just went back and looked at OP. I didn't realize rotating tires was on the list. We should have done that since we already had the two rear off and the front tires were off the ground.
