    Not a video, but very clear instructions. I just did one on Saturday, using this guide.

    This is going to sound really stupid. Any directions on removing the front skid plate. I know your probably saying why does this guy have a truck. Well my trucks for mulch and flowers in the summer that's about it. The Mrs. Is happy though. Haha

    The only skid plate that needs to be removed is the back one, which I BELIEVE is only on the TRD Off Road. If you do have it, it's just 4 12mm bolts. You will need a 3" extension to reach the front-most ones.

    not to sound like a dick.... but if you need hand holding on figuring out how to remove the stock skid.... you might consider not dealing with changing the front diff n transfer case oil.

    Don't worry Big Al, you got this. Nothing wrong with asking questions, and certainly nothing wrong with learning how to do things yourself :thumbsup:
