Thank you very much for sharing with the mud tribe!

I probably shouldn't admit how many I've got.

You did get YotaMd fobs from @suprarx7nut correct?

It is not difficult but I think one needs to get a couple under their belt before describing as easy. There can be frustrating events like rusty or corroded globe connections making retrieval difficult or not keeping enough fluid in reservoir duriing bleeding and then getting air in system...

^^^^ Agree....If unexperienced in the globe replacement process, I would suggest replacing all or having all replaced at same time.

Then carry on and enjoy driving it as designed and assembled. Say huh??

Unless mistaken, this is how I confirm which globes are bad. If you take off globe and can pour fluid from globe....toast.

Most ot the time when you take what is called "preventative" action in LC/LXs, you just think you are preventing problems, like protecting your tranny from exploding by making sure you change the fluid every 30k miles. But you just think you are, if you didn't change good tranny fluid so...

But I think its fair to say there are more vehicles getting the tranny fluids changed fairly often than ones that aren't. I personally have used the same "very rarely change tranny fluid" method for many years on many LC/LX and zero issues. I certainly keep a check on the level and smell but...

476k miles and never a second of tranny trouble as of this post..... and fluid hasn't been changed but maybe 3-4 times in 25 years and probably didn't need changing then. Apparently, proper fluid doesn't need changing. I have bought another LX for the money saved in fluid and time.

Correct

Bought these brand new Tundra wheels off Craigslist for $60. Sold the center caps for $55. WIN! Then painted them rattle can gunmetal... several times now.

^^^^ Same here. I have just caulked the seem to stop the drip. You can always easily pull the caulk off when you need to open things up to clean or repair.

One of my TO DOs is to finalize in my head the real world unbiased differences, advantages, disadvantages, likes and dislikes between the 1hundy and the 2hundy. As of now, I can't imagine it is easy for anything to beat a 1hundy. But I don't know that answer yet.

But has the whole new fuse box been repaired/ redesigned ?
