Yeah, I was looking for the bigger 12mm screws,I believe is 4 screws with the washers that held up the metal skid, just behind the plastic cover infront. But I will probably grab some of the smaller 10mm ones as well for the plastic cover. Thanks.

That's exactly what it was " let's slap this baby in 4x4 mode while driving over 50mph on dry pavement" but it was on a straight road no turns, and it was only for about a minute or so.

I drive a 5th gen sr5

I know your not supose to shift from 2wd to 4wd over 50mph, my brother was driving my truck and shifted it from 2wd to 4wd at around 60mph or so. What kind of damage can that cause?

i was doing some research on the types of grease and found out that some guys are using moly base for the side yokes and lithium base for the u joints.....now I dont really want to be dealing with 2 different guns and have narrowed it down to using amsoil synthetic multipurpose NLGI#2.... and...
