Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

I just ordered gear oil to do this exact thing. The problem is what's already been mentioned, the freaking cold.

 

Didn't realize he was in MO. I like watching his small engine torture tests

 

Guess we need to bring every single heater in Missouri and take it to Tate's new shop so we can have garage day.

 

I'd planned on doing all drivetrain components on DP this spring so we could do a trifecta.....
And it won't matter how many heaters ya bring, I have no garage doors at the moment.

 

Everyone will just have to bring all the plywood we can for temporary doors too.

 

Tarp/duct tape is also an option

 

Sweet.

 

I considered blankets, needle/thread, and staples too.

 

Believe me, I have already considered it.

I wish would've at least thru up plastic to keep the snow out.

 

Oh shoot, I wouldn't have thought of that either. Are you paving or doing gravel for the drive to the shop?

 

Gravel drive from garage pad to the shop pad. And it's already done.

 

rear diff is cake. Front can be a pain.

I’ve got amsoil in mine (front / rear / trans)

 

Go OEM

 

Digging that overhang on the left. Nice chill spot on rainy/sunny days.

 

Yes, our thinking completely.

 

I need to stop following this thread cuz it just makes me want to build a shop..

 

A simple pump can fix that

 

Getting the fluid in or out isnt really an issue. It’s more that stupid allen bolt thing they use for the fill hole that can be an issue on the front.

 

You probably have enough vehicles to justify it. I give you permission to have a shop.

 

Oh I can come up with 100 reasons to justify it lol my current issue is where to put it as I’m currently renting the house I live in now for super cheap.

I also debate on do I stay in Iowa or head somewhere else. A few more years and I don’t think it would be too difficult to live off grid with the advances in solar technology and starlink rolling out.
