This is the first time I've ever experienced the Tocikos in the rear of the truck. They feel a lot softer compared to the 5100's. I won't say "luxurious" but I can't seem to think of another word to describe it as. They're just less harsh I'd say and seem to have a bit better manners.
Then again, my 5100's had roughly 108K miles on them, so I can't compare these to a fresh set of those. I'm still rocking my LC80 springs with the same mileage as the 5100's that I took out. I think I'd recommend this setup for someone who wants a nice lift setup but wants to keep a nice soft ride.

The combo of the Toikco shocks and 861 coils seem a bit bouncy to me, I might be looking for something with better valving in the future. JM2C

My fluids are due and I got Lexus plugs for the front diff. They're a bolt instead of an inverted hex.

Yep, those are great. Somebody told me about them and I went to the Lexus dealer and picked them up. I have to go to a friend's house so he can weld a hex bit into the stripped drain plug on my front diff so I can drain/refill it then install the Lexus plugs. Those things are nice for sure. It's also long overdue.

I have the PN to the Lexus plugs in my build thread, super easy to work with vs the factory default

Oh I have. I wanted to try the cheapest Fram filter possible and send off an oil sample analysis to see what kind of results I get. I'm going to switch to 3K mile oil changes since this time I drained some pretty dirty oil. And I had a YZZD3 filter on there, too.

FYI, I change my oil once a year. Done it like that for almost 20 years. Blackstone analysis on my supercharged engine looked great last check.
I've had a Fram filter fail. Never again. I use Mobil 1, or Purolator. Wix are good too.

The oil will be fine. Oversized filters are a big false too. Lots of people do it and it's their choice. It doesn't clean the oil any better nor make any impact. I even had dealership people attend classes on it. Just sometimes cost more for the filters.. it's all your choice as it's your rig..

I'm glad you're yielding great results. Yearly oil changes scare me though, lol. I couldn't force myself to even if I wanted. It also gives me an excuse to get out and wrench a little, which is always therapeutic.

The oversized vs standard size filters are the same price for our rigs, at least at Walmart they are. The XG series of Fram filters are supposedly the best on the market. I've used one once before, but I'm trying my luck with the orange can this time.

I once went 27K on the same filter only topping off oil, the Blackstone report looked like new oil, plenty of life left.
If you want a reason to wrench, wheel your rig more *
