    Yep, front diff is a 10mm allen key, which I have in the screenshot of the full list, but not the top one that's broken out for some reason. Thanks for catching that; I'll update it.

    On the same topic - those front diff fill/drain plugs can get dirty and many folks round them out in the process of trying to loosen them. A good solution is to replace them with the Lexus variants, which use a traditional hex head, rather than a key.

    Part numbers to grab your own, here: A Front Diff Drain (and Fill) Plug that Doesn’t Suck – AdventureTaco

    You can get replacements that use a regular socket, so much easier than the hex design. I think they're made for a Lexus, I don't remember off the top of my head.

    Thanks for assembling the list. I'll build a tool bag soon.
    I pulled the front and rear seats on my 2004 four-door and the mounting bolts were all 14mm.
    The seat belt mounts are also 14mm.

    I have to laugh the tools you need will grow depending on Just how much your Skills increase ! What new Challenges you take on.
    Troubling shooting electrical and electronic problems adds another tool box!

    For me a Bolt bin of JIS Bolts was a Must a real life saver .

    The size of hardware after years just a Glance tells me the Size.
    Good Luck.

    @turbodb people (including me) having trouble accessing the spreadsheet. Can you upload a file to TW? Is there another way to make it accessible. As it is, it asks for a MicroSoft account, but then nothing comes up. How about posting to Google Drive, allow public access, and provide here the URL to connect?

    It's not really about not being able to figure things out without it. I just think it's a cool piece of documentation that I can add to my collection, and it might come in handy as a quick reference for what sockets/wrenches I'll need for a specific job (cuz I tend to forget after a long time). Plus, it would be something cool to hand off to whoever inherits my rig.

    That was in a Public Access OneDrive folder, but it looks like OneDrive just did away with Public Access folders. I've update the link, and it should work now without logging in. Either of these should work, they go to the same place:

    That’s not the point of this list.

    I used this list to build a small kit to put in my truck - to be able to handle most mechanical repairs.

    It’s not meant to be a list that ensures you can do everything listed in the FSM on a trail.

    I understand completely !
    That had nothing what so ever to do with my comments at all.
    Being the Link had failed and was from 2017.
    I tend to forget for many people this is the first vehicle and purchase of any tools.

    In the very bottom right corner (in the dark bar below the sheet tabs), there is a "View Full Size Workbook" button.
