    I don't much like the cold either, but I never see snow so I gotta at least experience it once every 5 years. Haha

    Well, over the past few days I have put in work on this beast.

    Changed out:
    Front diff fluid
    Rear diff fluid
    T-case fluid
    Tranny fluid
    Radiator fluid
    Windshield washer fluid
    Engine oil and filter
    Greased the shaft :p
    Touched up all the skid plates and found better brackets for my diff diaper

    Spark plugs will get done on Saturday

    I did manage to fail in my attempt to relocate the windshield washer reservoir. I got flustered since I could not get the low fluid sensor out of the old reservoir. So I said screw it and put the original back on. Looks like all I had to do was just cut the sensor off?? Owell.

    My diff fluids looked pretty nasty! Not sure if its just in my head, but she sure does feel like a new machine! Wife emailed me this morning and said, "damn, truck feels like a beast"!

    haha, that made my day

    Subbed since we are both open open :thumbsup: haha. Good looking rig. Always see it on the 1st gen today thread.

    What brands of fluid did you use? I need to change all oils. Going with Redline mt-90 in tranny.

    Thanks Jay!

    I ended up going with Castrol for the diffs and t-case. They were out of Mobile 1

    for the radiator and tranny, I used Toyota fluid

    you cant go wrong with redline, that's some good stuff

    Engine oil I used Mobile 1 full synthetic.
