water crossing that cause a rapid cooling of the dif can create issues at the seal. The factory rear diff breather is one way valve so it can create some vacuum inside there.

I’ve only done a few water crossings and already did the breather mod when I bought it.
is it dripping oil or is seal just a little moist?

Seal just a little moist in a few spots.
I wouldn’t sweat that. If you find any dripping off I’d start to consider replacing it

My thoughts exactly. I do plan on regearing in the future and doing lockers so will have it changed then. I opened the fill plug and fluid was at the top so not a concern.

If weather is nice I’m going to take a day trip to lake keechelus if anyone is down this weekend.
I’m down? How far from Greenville? 
It’s raining here had to cancel my beach camping plans.

I’ll just call in next week or so? I’m not in Greenville currently at my parent’s house in Sumter SC. Loving the crickets sitting on a tailgate
Home, a little different than most of my Lexus friends
She crawled right out of the mud pit in low range with no gas.
This bitch can claw
I haven’t really given her hell yet (I’ve tested a few vehicles)
Maybe tonight is a good test night.
Nick is my best friend and bro. So don’t judge me

Anyone know the size and length for the hood hinge bolt?

Can you take one of the bolts out of the other side and measure? 
I can't say I normally see that kind of detail in schematic parts searches

Changed the rear diff fluid to a heavier weight due to towing, larger tires and off road abuse.
Also cleaned up the area underneath the roof rack fairings and put clear M3 tape to prevent rubbing/rusting. There was quite a bit of dirt and debris underneath.

Man what a day. Went out with 3 GXs and a Jeep. Got to do some donuts and sling some mud around. Tried climbing a hill but the clay/mud was too slippery for all terrains. Got pulled out from another GX. Jeep got stuck too. The black GX with duratracs had the best traction. Really thinking about another set of wheels and mud terrains. Finished the days with food and beer from drubru.
