    Thanks, and no, truck just hit 65,000 that's why I did all of that. I change the oil every 5500 or so and 4 quarts of transmission fluid every 3 oil changes. Differentials and transfer case about every 20,000. This is the first time I have done the belt, so I figured I would do the idlers and tensioner at the same time. And the brakes should be good for a while. Nice feel with the stainless lines and DOT 4.

    Your tranny must love you. I did My first tranny change 2k ago and plan to do it every oil change for the hell of it. I don't drive many miles so it'll be once /yr.

    I just installed that knob by itself. It looks good with the grommets though.

    yep..
    I agree about AT fluid not being changed unless a lot of towing is done.

    I have a manual trans so I do whatever.. I also grease my u joints very often.... lol

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Every 30k on a manual trans is about the correct interval for changing fluids, same goes for differentials. Which reminds me.... I need to do mine again

    Auto trans, I don't trust flush machines, there's always something left from the fluid that was in it before, and as far as dipstick service, well obviously we can't do that. I do four quarts every three oil changes, fluid is always in the same nice red color, and transmission shifts and behaves exactly the same as when I bought it.

    Installed Overhead Compass and Temperature Display along with outside temperature sensor and wiring; LED lights reverse backup; LED license plate lights; Added GTA Bluetooth Audio kit to stock radio for iphone audio; Spare tire steel braided air hose extension connection to rear bumper; Installed new headlights along with new bulbs PIAA H4 XTreme and for fog lights PIAA H10 XTreme bulbs. Installed new hood with "hood-scoop". Installed Predator Side Steps. Replaced front chrome grill with customized color matched (Desert Sand Mica) grill with added TOYOTA lettering (also in matched color), installed and secured tailgate anti-theft devices. Also installed a new external TPMS monitor for all 4 tires.
    Is this anything simular to an "oil-catch-can" are they one and the same?.....or are these two entirely different separate functions?

    Completed the big three wiring upgrade and added a Northstar grp31 I got forever ago in a group buy. Built the engine harness using a donor as a template.

    My girls 6,000 shy of 400,000 miles today. So I crawled under and gave her a good look over/dry cleaned the under body/engine bits. Dropped some sea foam in the tank. Dry cleaned under the hood and pumped out and replaced the brake and ps fluid for s&g
