    You have a manual? Its super easy to do yourself, just remove the drain and fill plugs and drain ---> fill 'er up. 75w90 gear oil...less than 3 quarts if I recall. Either way you just fill it until it reaches the fill port.

    Finished my satoshi grill and grill lights. Still need to paint the outside of the grill but all the hard part is done. Need to do my projector/halo retro fits and the nose is done.

    Yeah I got a manual, last time I did my tranny fluid it was a bitch in a half I bet it's easier with my 6inch lift now,

    If you want it to be nice it's takes time and patience. I was lucky enough to have friends in a body shop who helped me with the bondo but after doing it with them I could do it again

    Worth it

    Yeah it's really easy, I'm not mechanically inclined at all but I always do my diffs, t-case and transmission because of how simple they are. Dealer will charge over $100 for that nonsense.

    Just make sure you always remove the fill plug first, don't want to drain your transmission only to find out you can't get the fill plug loose. And it's a good idea to get new washers for the drain/fill plugs too, they're like .10 cents each from Toyota.

    @3rYODA just bring the gear oil to our MJT run and we'll do the drain/fill in the staging area before the run :cheers:

    I have a bag of washers for the plugs still from when I got them last, think I've got at least a dozen

    you could do it man just be prepared to drive it without the grill for a few days if it's a daily. It's more a time consuming deal than difficult
