    Time as flown by for me.
    My buddy is a store manager in SC. He's tried for years to get me to buy one. He said I'd get the "friends & family" discount.
    The 5th gen T4R will be stock stuff :D

    Remember, remove the fill plug 1st. The drain plugs always unscrew easy. They live in an oil bath. The fill plugs tend to seize in the hole, since they aren't constantly covered in oil.

    It would suck to drain the oil then find out you had to have the diffy plug removed by a shop (most weld a nut to the fill plug).

    LOL. Last Tacoma: Changed mine at...Never. 300k on the clock.

    Present Tacoma at...Never. 110k on the clock.

    Present Tundra at...Never. I even pulled the axles to replace the bearings. The oil looked like new at 90k.

    Don't hate me.

    Yeah, true.
    I know for sure I'm doing all the brake stuff including a flush.
    Was going to grease everything but apparently PreRunners may or may not have zerk fittings...? Gonna have to go and look for myself it seems.
    Also need to check coolant and all the other fluids.
