This is supposed to be an equivalent to the Toyota oil.

RAVENOL DGL 75W85 GL-5

 

Yep, genius! I’m making one

 

I just use Mobil 75W-90 (I think, verify that) gear oil in bags. I use the mobil because it's in bags. But from the tank sprayer post, I might be able to be convinced otherwise!

I am making at least one. one for gear oil, maybe one for atf? I have a pump handle thingy for ATF already but it's still kinda cumbersome. That thing is slick. 12 bucks?! SOLD!




Side note - I have one of these for water on the trails. I use it to spray down windows and/or headlights after bombing through mud puddles. It's not perfect, but it's 95% better than leaving the mud on (especially headlights at night). I have used it to spray down windows, coolers, seats, etc from NMW dust too.

 

One for atf is a great idea also. I just did an atf change and the pump wore my ass out!
I was also thinking of using a drill pump…

 

What are the Pros/cons of removing the 2” blocks on the rear leafs and getting something else to maintain the lift without use of a block? I don’t usually have too much weight when I go camping in the bed, like less than 150-200 lbs I’d guess

 

I don't think there'd be any negative to ditching the blocks, what you replace them with is key though

 

Not sure, to get lift like that and no weight…icon rxt option 2 maybe 1 but those would probably suit your needs best long term

Add a leaf is another option or bastard pack.


i have my old oem leafs with aal installed…want em’? Free.50


Edit: no cons

 

Also posted on the TW express thread:


I’m looking to set up a TW express from @williams63 in Fremont or Salem NH to Western CT (preferred) or S. Kingston RI to move a set of door mirrors. Anyone making the trip southwest?

@Merling might be able to, or I’m kinda close. Going to see a few ct peeps Sunday.

it might work out

 

If I was him I'd take those! Hella deal there

 

I'd be willing to hold onto them if they can make it down from NH. I'm in Western MA

 

That would work too. Txs.

 

Happy to help out

 

Thanks John, very generous offer. I gotta do some research but figured I could probe here first

 

Thank you

 

What are you trying to accomplish? It can be done but wondering why the fuss?

 

Just curiosity really, I like learning how things work

 

I can get them to Providence. Maybe if @CTSpruceMica is coming up for any reason too. I don't go to western CT at all though unfortunately.

 

I should specify, I'm in Westfield, about 30mins from Granby, CT

 

@tacobell007 Was it you I saw somewhere that knew someone with a tubing bender?
