    I was referred to The Yota Guy in Midvale by a couple of off-road shops in Utah County. Tried to get pricing and timeframe from Midnight 4x4 several times with no luck. I’ve got gears scheduled with TYG at the end of this month. Fingers crossed.

    It’s been about 10 months and I’m looking into getting front/rear 5.29 diff oil changed. This will be 2nd. Got the initial 500m oil changed back in Oct 2019. Should i stick with the same: Lucas 85w-140?

    and how many 1-Gallon do i need?

    At 500 mile break in, or every 30k miles. You can find the quart bottles for $8 each on Amazon as well.

    At this point, what do you guys think might be the best/affordable option?

    I’m leaning towards buying a built unit from east coast gear supply. I think I can swap in the rear end, but I’d pay someone for the front.

    I say at this point go with ecgs. Don't really know of any reliable places in socal. Plenty of places that say they can but reviews are mixed, including that group buy. Ecgs comes with an actual warranty and everyone that's done it has been happy

    From what I've seen you post about wrenching on your Tacoma, I think you could do it easy. It's a bit of a hassle but completely doable. The only real issue I had was lifting it to reinstall it by myself.

    Its super easy i did it in about 5 hours total. I ordered from ECGS and installed everything myself. I would def recommend going that route.

    Yeah that group buy scared the hell out of me. Especially the dude who had two different gear ratios installed.

    Thanks man. I could definitely do the rear end. I saw a video on the front end and it had me a little worried about doing it on my own. I have two jacks through so I think I can get by.

    ECGS it is.

    Yeah, I had my front regeared through the group buy shop. I delivered the diff to them in a cardboard box since I was doing gussets and other things and didn't mind doing the labor myself. It took them about 4 hours to regear the diff that was already removed and this was in Mar-Apr during the height of the pandemic fears so it was pretty dead in there. When they started churning out whole trucks with removal/regear/reinstallation in 1 hour it made me raise my eyebrows lol

    It takes me an hour to break down the front diff and clean it, theres no way they regeared a single diff in an hour.

    they’re doing front/rear gears in like 1-2hrs lol which lead to someone getting 4.88 front and 5.29 rear. He noticed because he took it back to the shop due to 4hi not engaging. Shop told him they f*up the gear ratios.

    And you'd be right, they aren't regearing one diff in one hour. Like @Taconator_ said they are knocking out BOTH diffs in just over an hour :rofl:

    Seems like they started off well, then it seemed like they were more interested in creating a McDonalds drive-thru mentality.
