    If you put 2 qts in the jug, how much of that do you get out? And is flushing the jug/hose in order to change lubricants a thing, or is remaining lube negligible? The only real problem I see is if the plastics are not petroleum compatible, the life of that rig is going to be short. I put petroleum-based grease on a boat trim tab ram (plastic) once, not knowing they didn't require external lubrication, and within a week the ram had cracked and separated from the tab mount. Couldn't figure out why my boat wouldn't trim 25 miles out in Lake Erie. Oops, had to use the outdrive trim and go slow to get back to marina.

    Cali raised interior panels, put the IFAK on it to finally get it off the head rest.

    Great question. As far as purging out the system. I changed my transmission oil first GL4, then diffs with GL5. When I was done with the transmission I purged the rest back into the redline bottle. Was able to get pretty much all of it out, the rest was residual. Speed is about a qt every 3-5 min (75w90). Added a few pumps here and there. Didn’t want to over pressurize it, but feel I could have gotten a bit more flow out of it. It was nice as I would let it fill and I started draining the next diff. Faster and less effort/mess than the hand pumps for sure.

    As far as longevity I’ll have to see. I purged as much as I could - some residual oil in the hoses I bet. The model I picked up has viton seals and is meant for commercial disinfectants so I imagine it being sturdy enough for petroleum based oils. I thought about using some sort of parts cleaner / choke cleaner to spray in and run it through but wasn’t sure how the seals/plastic would take it. Worst case in 30k I’ll build another, ha. The sprayer was on sale at HF for 12 bucks, got a 1/4” ball valve $2, and a 1/4” hose repair kit for $4 bucks which included the male/female NPTs and hose clamps. Used some extra hose from one of my old hand pumps for the last bit to monitor flow.

    I believe the bottleneck is in the plastic hose ID within the sprayer which slows it down. Fairly small.

    Which IFAK kit do you have? And how did you mount it?

    For my IFAK I had to zip tie it to my molle panel and have been looking for a better solution.

    Finally installed the MillerCat shield. Had it for months but wasn’t in a big hurry since it’s primarily safe at night.

    Custom, only one ever designed and built interiors, heavily welded frame, all sharp metal turned bed rack and a roof top I made for $75. Power pedal, injen intake system, cat delete, summit racing brake proportioning valve controlled on the fly, slightly adjusted or perhaps unrecognizable ECM, built in under bed storage, high clearance rear built with 1/4" on a 6011 1/8" rod at 120 amps, 360 degrees of led light, a PA and CB, on board air, on board propane (to cook food), on board fridge made from an old red bull fridge found on some guys man cave built into the storage cubby under the back seat, imported tranny and clutch from a good friend over in Europe to replace this aisin junk we get, combined 32 gallons fuel capacity, 18 5 gallons of water storage, built in gun locker under RTT, and all it cost was to hear the wife ramble on about upset neighbors at 2 in the morning every night since I bought that damn truck..
    So I'm back in the 3rd gen game. It's a bittersweet thing, but I sold my old hilux (and honda 300 fourtrax) to get my tacoma back on the road. Took some haggling to do it, but I had to get a new ECM and other odds and ends. The truck is in a sad state of affairs, but new parts are on the way. Cost me almost $12k but then I realized, I custom ordered this truck in 2019, paid $47 and have dropped at least $20k over the years. I've got too much skin in the game to quit now. Pics are soon to follow..
