    As asked before but couldn’t find the answer, for the rear differential on a 2009 “pre 2010” stock double cab 4x4, do I need the LSD additive. How can I find out?

    Excellent tutorial thank You.
    Using 24 MM socket and fill plug will not budge! Tried power drill with no luck. IMG_1558.jpg IMG_1558.jpg

    Hi - I was not ! I bought a replacement fill plug (ebay) and will need to have a mechanic remove the stuck bolt, drain and refill at an upcoming service.
