This is why I’m fine with 10mpg.

I think it’s more like people improve on the truck’s ability to do certain things for their needs and preferences, they don’t actually improve the truck overall. With all the unknown factors around fluids, I don’t quite trust aftermarket manufacturers to make an ATF that is as well suited to our...

Great trail. What is covering the top of your rig? I've been looking at getting the XPel "armor" film on my LX. Line-x reduced noise and temp in my 2006, but it's a little too permanent.

It's really pretty easy, a lot of bolts and a connector, I think, but it's nothing you'd need a "pro" for. Plenty of YT videos showing how to do it.

Both. At least for a while.

Nevermind, figured it out There is a GS-F at Newport Lexus that I would be glad to pay someone to look over. I'll get an official inspection but I trust Mudders. Sorry for the non-Mud vehicle request, I'm not on any other forums.

I think this part is pretty common, the self-leveling gets thrown off sometimes when you stop on a mild incline.

Maybe jack the rear up and slowly turn a wheel to see if it comes out or into view of your camera. Use a few bottles of cheap gear oil to help it along.

I think this image shows one of the "tunnels" in the black collar.

I haven't had them for a few years, so my memory is fuzzy, but don't they have two "tunnels" where you can place a small bar/screwdriver through the shock to stabilize it?

I wish I could write OR wrench like you. Also, awesome dogs.

I'm no crack mechanic, but calipers aren't very expensive. Since it sounds like yours has some issues, and it's pretty important, I'd consider replacing it. That's just me. Let some folks who know chime in.

You can take the opportunity to upgrade the plugs and the magnets, I think @bjowett sells them: Jowett Performance Drain Plugs, also Dimple. Just don't get a big one for the TCase because of the chain. Ex Scientia Tridens

Nice truck, I have an ‘18 in Nebula; it’s been great. It was also stolen for a few hours right after I bought it, damaged the door handle and I had to get new keys.

Is that a full exchange or drain/fill?
