I had to replace the front diff refill plug today. The Toyota parts guy gave me this and said the part has been changed. Clearly, we can use a socket on it.

Anyone know of an affordable resource where I can swap out the front diff drain plug for a similar bolt, and that has a magnet? What about for the transfer case?
 
Search in this section. There is a Lexus part from an IS that has a 14mm external hex. Still relatively soft steel that has stripped for at least one person, but when torqued correctly they do a much better job than the stock 10mm internal hex part.

I seem to remember the transfer case already having bolts like the one in the picture.
 
Sweet. I’ll be adding this next fluid change.
