First time I did it, I couldn't believe how much better it rode in city traffic. No more fucking thunks, and the u joints being greased helps a lot too.

 

I am just coming up to 30K. I have the fluids for the oil change and the diff. Is the frt diff than the rear and do I need an additive?

 

It's not a bad job once you get good at it. I can get it all greased up like a Mexican hooker, and change my oil under an hour...

 

I did the u joints after the lift

 

Do you have the off road?

 

Is that good or bad

 

Yes

 

Good for trucks, bad for Mexican hooker customers... Lol

 

Depends what number you have in the waiting line for said hooker..

 

Ok you don't need any additives. Just change the oils. that will be an all day job, I did all mine at the last oil change. I used Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil, but you can save a lot of money and just use regular gear oil. I did the front and back diffs, t case, transmission fluid, engine oil, and slip joint, and it cost just over $300 in fluids and shit... Glad you only have to do all that every 30k...

 

Any number after 1 is bad

 

X2

 

Good to know, I have some back thunks and clunks in the city. Figured she was just getting old.

The front is different than the rear. The fill and drain plugs take allen keys and you'll either need a fluid pump to fill or you'll have to get really creative shoving a bottle in there to squeeze oil in. I've always done it by squeezing the hell out of the bottles, hint, do the front diff before the x-fer case so you have all the full bottles for the front. You do NOT need any additives for the front, it is an open differential.

No comment

If you have to ask, you can't afford it

 

If you're 1 for a particular hole as well haha

 

You have a sport, off roads don't need additive in the rear diff either. A pump that screws into the top of the gear oil bottles worked well for me. Took forever but...

 

Ya I bought the Mobil1 syn gear lube and syn oil. I will have to grease the slip joint while under there. What does the transfer case take? It blows my mind that the trans doesnt have a filter

 

T case takes the same as the diffs. Tranny uses Toyota's ATF fluid you gotta buy at the dealer. I get all my oil and filters at the dealer anyways so it wasn't an extra trip.

 

I find my mobil1 syn anywhere thats cheap and on sale. This set of oils were bought by my employer and they didnt realize. I got some mobil1 syn grease as well

 

If I thought ahead I think you can get it in bulk on eBay cheap...

 

HA, tricked you! I has a lowly SR5 with TRD Sport apparel
