    I put in aftermarket halo headlights and ran them off of my running lights, swapped I'm bigger tires went up to a p225/R75.
    I have a 1998 Toyota Tacoma 2.4 liter 2 wheel drive 4-speed automatic transmission. I live in Texas where it's usually around 80°F, I'm stuck between running 75-90 or 75-80. What would y'all recommend?

    I just switched to a synthetic diff fluid that should last me until about 150K miles!

    Forget the name though...

    Supertech. Cheap, easy to get, works fine. Made by Warren distribution.

    At the end of the day, anything that is properly rated for your diff (GL5 I believe, so anything GL4/5 rated will work).. is going to be fine
