None show any evidence of leaking. I guess my time will soon come? I use the 2000 4runner mostly now, and I ordered the parts for an axle seal job. Should I just do it to get it out of the way for peace of mind? Hoping for a Yukon trip this summer. Maybe I'll just bring the parts with me in case. Hey, if I'm up that way and it blows out, maybe Kanoe can help me do it!!! For a fee of course...

well..i did my preventative...230k and moving from oregon to fairbanks alaska and fully loaded...last thing I wanted was a blown axel seal or bearing, finding someone on the road to do the work and all the inconvenience. It also allowed me to take my time, clean things really well, and I installed new wheel cylinders and super cleaned all brake parts.
plus I was going to be leaving tons of my tools, press etc at my son in oregon
