Adding a front air fitting in the front bumper. Going to protect it with one of these.

Whoops forgot that was you.
Did a little maintenance on the 4Runner today since I have been towing a lot lately. The rear diff fluid looked more like 5w20 than 75w90. I also reconnected the sway bar while I was back under the rig. But while I was under there I discovered the driver's side CV boot is shot; so guess I will start putting together a wrench day list.
Still tough to complain for 392k miles.

How many miles were on the 4R when you bought it?
I want to say 190k ish? It was a little under 200k miles on it.

Pretty amazing TBH. 
Shows what can happen when you treat a rig right and do not abuse it. Sort of.
*now that I am thinking about it I need to get ready for a timing belt change with the regular water pump and radiator & hoses.

Not really what I did to my rig, but more of what someone else did to mine. I got straight pipes on my Tundra thanks to the crackhead who stole my cats

Dropped the Tundra off at Cowboy Toyota today where it will stay for who knows how long while they do the exhaust. I have a new-to-me transfer case in the bed for them to install while it's there. Hopefully that gets my 4x4 back going again.
I'm back to daily driving my Tacoma now so I removed the RTT. Today it was so hot that it seems my boost sensor cooked itself so I'm ordering a new one. It's annoying, but at least it's an easy replacement. The boost gauge is "nice to know" and not a "need to know" instrument so that's a good thing.
Time to crack a cold one and get in the pool.

Toyota dealership is quoting 9 hours of shop time to swap my transfer case....$1635. 9 hours seems excessive to me, what do y'all think?
A full transfer case can be a bit of work. Almost easier to drop transmission and t case as a single unit.

Oh so maybe I shouldn't be as surprised as I was
Swapping out the front axle in my 3rd gen takes me 3 hours if lucky; usually closer to 4 hours. There are not near the fluids, cables, weight, and sensor wires.
