Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

And by that you mean every 30k I assume?
I have a Trd sport so LSD with the tow package but I don't tow really.

 

I changed my front and rear diff oil at 31k. They had a bit of little metal shaving gunk on the magnetic end of the bolt. I'd recommend changing it at 30k. I'm changing mine out again when I hit 50k.

 

So uh 35s are on

 

Looks good Garrett.

Any up close of the cutting you did?

 

Nice! did a good job, how long did it take?

 

I can take some for you tomorrow Ian.

Thanks Eric. Prepping and cutting took about 3 hours because I wanted it to be as close to perfect as I could get it

 

Also I made a build thread

Hey Garrett, truck looks good. Now ur ready to get to hollister with us. I'll set something up for right after Christmas. See u then.

 

Yes I am. Sounds like a plan Glen, looking forward to it

 

Don't you have a 2009? 2009+ do not have a mechanical LSD with clutch packs. It's an e-LSD where it simulates it using the brakes. 30k miles is a general rule. I think 50k is fine for normal use. Of course, I have to change mine at 30k due to the LSD.

 

Thanks!

 

We have basically the same truck, most people will never see any issue changing those fluids every 50k, or even approaching 100 before the first change. I will probably change mine out again at 60k, because I tend to be a little over zealous on preventative maintenance. If you're approaching 9xxxx miles with normal/leisurely driving, you're probably right about due for a healthy, thorough service.

 

Lol I was afraid of you saying the last part. I'm at 91.5 so Brian and I just did my spark plugs and oil today. But before 100k I should do a diff flush

 

I'm just over 62k miles on our highlander and haven't done the TC or rear diff on it yet. No big hurry with all the highway miles, but it's on my to do list. At 90k, just change it. It's so easy to do on the Taco since you don't even need a jack due to the height.

 

ditto on the pump. easiest way to fill it. Just do it with the truck level so you get the amounts correct when you fill. Be aware, that shit's gonna STINK to high hell.

 

hella stinky... try not to wear too much of it

 

Crappy clothes for sure! That crap stinks!!

Thanks,

Brett

 

Here's the one I saw on Friday:

Don't see a door handle on rear door? Are they rear-opening (ala access cab?)

 

Nope. Just looked at all the other ones posted earlier... This dude's just got some super-extra-custom action going on. Gotta love the sliding window too...
