Thanks for the welcome , toyota in Charlotte NC, I know to search but.

I'm trying to figure TW space out still and man can someone give me hints on search terms or something maybe a type of key to the thing. I'm the type that likes to service before it's time at least by the "time for" I've got a 2 year old with 13k and considering the diff fluids and such will be getting time for what I feel like is time for some. I can't do it all yet because I need a different jack and stands this is the first truck with a lift I've ever owned and I've only owned it for less than 2 weeks now, spent the afternoon at toyota for the green locking light flashing..they said lack of use caused it to bind, I've used it once in the in my 10 days of ownership, they acted like I was a sinner almost having a 2" lift and 285/70/17's and ...well they sorted it out for free its under warranty till December but they certainly acted like they wouldn't be doing much free with it lifted.. well they said 30k for the fluids I want to change but it's 2.5 years old just not many miles yet. Well should I change fluids 20k maybe? I'd rather not wait too long with the age of it . And can anyone point me to some help with it in Charlotte NC I just really don't know anyone around here into it and my honda mechanic of 15 years will do the stuff but he's opened a new shop and my wife's pilot has been back twice for slack work they didn't tighten the new bushing on the front and it was banging and now the oils leaked all over the drive I just paved in 21 because of the lack of ...it was the crush washer where it was leaking..I've never made that simple mistake and I'm not a mechanic so until I get Jack's stands tools more knowledge which I'm working on with the YouTube and TW I just haven't figured out how to find what I'm looking for yet, and I'm going to need some help , anyone got a guy I can trust that won't bend me over with the bill? Yoda on sblvd wants 100$ more than primal 4x4 for alignment because of my tiny lift so I need someone into this sort of thing that knows what they do..I had to cancel on primal 4x4 for alignment today because of the need to see what's up with my 4x light before I head out on a 4.5 hour drive in the morning. And i wanted it done on warranty. I need to rotate the ko2's too so it's about to pile up into a huge bill before long and that's going to make it slower in my aquire of the tools I need to do it myself.. anyone that won't mind replying knowing I should have searched first (trust me I did I just new to this stuff and how to find it in the TW archives ..any help greatly appreciated..

I can do it I just don't have tools for a tall truck yet like a jack and stands I'm coming from a Honda it's been 15 years since I had a truck. Yes someone to help would be great but I guess right now in the next month or 3 probably need to just pay someone .. I know if I go to Yoda or my honda guy I could buy the tools for the price but I may have to because of the lack of time I have right now..just don't want to let things go too far since it's not new but basically new according to the milage

 

I suppose for most I really don't have to jack I can crawl under maybe I should do that and just get a cheap crawler that would probably save me the most in getting started with fluid changes it not tall just 2" with 33's but there is enough to make it happen I suppose maybe I'll do most but yeh I guess I should think about my options a little more so I can get the diffs and transfer case drained and filled . I literally had the truck 10 days yet so forgive my asking just thinking since I don't have a lot of time or money lol
