    I do. I think my driveshaft angle is off .05-.1* so if I wanted it perfect I would have to use washers instead of the drop bracket. No vibes tho, so I just left it.

    I had a takeoff vibe and replaced my DS bearing with the ECGS bushing. The humm went away but the vibe remained unfortunately.

    Too bad I left the DS shims on my Taco when i sold it. Would have given them to you for nothing. Granted the DS drop is nothing more than washers and longer bolts.

    Drain / fill tranny fluid for first time. 101,000 miles. I beleive I was 1/2 qt low. Drained 2.5 qts, put in 3, and got a very little to come out hot. Took a long time to get up to 115 degrees. Was 20 degrees this am so that did not help. I will likely swap out 3 more qts in a couple weeks before i put my skids back on.

    Also did coolant drain / fill....not as exciting ans tranny fluid

    This much came out, real black looking

    Filled with 3 qts of this

    Waited a long time to get up to temp
