    Well ended up doing the transfer case and both front and rear differential change .

    I ended up using 75w 90 AMSOIL for the front and rear differential.

    The transfer case I used redline mt-lv closest thing I can find locally that comes close to Toyota gold .

    things I learned in the process

    Always have the tools u need and ones u don’t I ran into an issue my torque bar was a bit to long for the front differential. Didn’t have a lot of clearance . I solved this by lifting the side of the truck so I can have clearance .

    Will definitely invest in some jack stands to give more clearance . Stock height is doable but can make a real pain in the ass for the front differential .

    next always make sure your hand pump is going the right direction ended up taking a bath in some of it . lol

    Buy extra fluid just in case stuff above happens.

    And expect to have stuff happen .. I needed my extension piece for my wrench … guess where I found it after looking for 20 min … cussing and swearing the hole time .. yup in the oil pan .. don’t ask me how it got there but it did . lol

    overall it was a good learning experience and in the future will definitely be more prepared
