    Put Grabber X3s on the runner the other day. Love the look and hoping they'll perform just as well when I get the chance to take them off road.

    Stopped at the Toyota dealer for some differential oil. 46 dollars for a 1L can. That’s right, I said can. Also, I said 46 dollars for one of them….

    69E15F6E-E017-4FC1-AA03-42BF861941E1.jpg

    So I bought the drain and fill plug washers instead.

    Any good recommendations for diff oil?

    So, How do you like the new TRD Intake? What is your honest opinion of it?

    I haven’t put that many miles on it yet, to be honest. Maybe 70?

    I did buy a pedal commander a week ago. I saw my average MPG drop to 14.5-15 city after the pedal commander; and I’ve been seeing my average MPG climb post intake install. It’s up to 15.5-15.7 city now. (Mind you, this is on a trd pro, with sliders, gobi rack, etc.)

    It’s a costly venture to acquire the combination but I believe there is some noticeable difference of exhaust and engine noise / throttle control / acceleration / mpg with the combination of pedal commander, trd exhaust, and intake. My previous 2016 4Runner had none of this.

    Would I do it again? It’s debatable. It’s a costly venture where I believe money could be spent better elsewhere for enjoyment. I can say most assuredly I don’t have a big grin like I would if this was a force inducted sports car with a cold air intake, the noise is barely noticeable, it’s like a high pitch dog whistle.

    I still have a TRD Intake, new in the box, that I haven't even opened yet. Makes me think I should just sell it for a good price and cut my my losses on it...

    Toyota gear oils are way overpriced. Just use any major brand 75W-90. I’ve been using Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-90 in the squeeze bag, it’s more expensive than others, but it makes the job easier without needing a pump.

    Last night at the spur of a moment I decided to go camping with my 3 boys in our backyard. Used my Ironman enclosure for the first time:

    It is nice. Here are the things I like:
    • I like that each side of the enclosure (4) has a bug net and each side of the enclosure can have their own awning (extra poles needed)
    • The awning doesn’t need to be attached to the truck but could stand on its own with an extra 2 poles
    • The enclosure has a nice thick tarp for the floor. I like that I can remove the floor if I desired
    • The roof is waterproof and practically double layered
    • I thought about getting a RTT. There is not enough space for a family of 6 in there. It was tight with 4 of us
    The enclosure part is not tiny. It is pretty big but it is really nice that it is easy to setup and is so capable. I hope that helps and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would watch this video if you want to see more.

    Did this today. It’s a two stage pull out table. Not at all finished. It is for the overall project of mine that I have been sharing here. Pic of that project included. Hope to finish tomorrow.

    I ended up getting mobil 1 75w90 in the tall 1qt bottles with the little spout. Took the spare tire off and was able to squeeze it straight into the diff without using the pump.

    Not sure if I can pull off the same with the transfer case and front diff though, so good to know about the squeeze bags.

    I looked these up as I really like them, especially the step for wife and one of the comments I read at the dealers site was the method of attaching to vehicle. Do these bolt to the frame or body?

    They bolt on to the body not the frame.

    Here, I used the 1010 series extrusion. 1010 is the smallest profile they have at 1”x1”... https://8020.net/

    There also are a lot of hardwares they provide that you may like to use. The most common tools I use for this are my chop saw, drill press, m6 tap & m5 ball end t-handle. For the m6 tap I just put it in my drill and fire away on the ends of extrusion that need to be tapped, use cutting fluid always for that. 93476074-F9A9-42C0-B515-5BB9398F7B58.jpg
