    Changed rear diff fluid with new synthetic. Old oil looked gross and very mirky. Changed Transfer case oil - gross but not as bad as rear diff. Went to change front diff oil and realized I needed a 11 or 12mm hex (allen key) for drain plug, which I dont have. Fill port is a 10mm so I was able to top it up at least - took 350mL :eek: Need to keep an eye on that.
    Changed oil and filter.
    Don't think pics were necessary, and particularly cos this work gets oil on everything!

    Out of interest, the 10 minute lube/oil change shops charge $68 for rear diff, $75 for front, $72 tc, $80 transmission!! I told them for that price I would do it myself.

    It's two scoops. Do you think they look ok. I've always worried they looked tacky! But I like them because they break the color up on the hood

    Washed the whole truck and cleaned out the entire interior. Looks like a brand new truck :D Also, exchanged my duratracs for a set of stock sized michelin ltx ms2's. I was getting killed with gas so the parents said either new tires or truck as to go. :( I went with the first option

    just ordered my set of 4 5100s from DSM and my 2" AAL from Toytec! Saved a total of $20 with the TW discount codes. too bad theres no discount code for labor. i keep hearing that compressing coils and assembling the shocks/coils is a huge PITA. The rest i'm looking forward to tho.

    Just pay your local shop $50 to do it right (spring compression and shock change out). They can do it in 10 minutes and there is no fucking around. The rest you can do yourself.
