Today I manually flushed my transmission and radiator, changed out the fluid in the differentials and transfer case, upgraded the headlight bulbs to HIRs, installed a pioneer touchscreen with Android Auto, and still got in a full day of work.

Dayum, sounds like somebody has some youth to them.

Just wishing I was a bit more youthful. Strained my rotator cuff dealing with the rear diff, and my neck and back are killing me now. Still worth doing diy maintenance. If you care about your car, do not trust someone else to do it.
 
Installed LED Headlight bulbs in my '07 SR5.
Review here

Pretty decent results!
LED on left, OEM H11 on right

Hi, can you comment on which LED kit/setup you used? My HIDs are getting ready to need new bulbs so thinking about the LED option.

Never mind, just saw your other post :)

Thanks !

So, I have still had my 2.5" spacer lift in the rear w/coilover HD shocks in the rear for a while. I decided to go with the 3" Overland dual rate HD coils now.
What a difference, not so much bounce and don't feel to much pot holes anymore.

Since my shocks where designed for a 3" lift, I'm reusing them without the coil springs on them. Was tired of the lack of support when loaded down.

This morning, had to use the spring compressors to re install the driver side with 1 of my spacers I cut down to 1.5". No more driver lean.
Yes she's got rake. I estimate aprox. 180 +/- lbs extra weight on it constantly.

Taking her to the dealership after work. 4Low doesn't engage and the center diff locker doesn't engage. Someone screwed up when they "went over it" before putting it on the lot. Good thing for 3 month 3500 mile full powertrain warranty.

I was in the same boat when we bought our 06 used in Oct of 2013. I took the service techs word that the 4 wheel drive system was all working. Sure enough got it home and it did not engage. They fixed it all under warranty.

Good luck. Get it back to the dealer asap!

I am sure they knew. They hope a buyer does not try out 4wd until the warranty has expired.
 
Figured out that the front end clunk I've been having is the sway bar bushings... While I was in there, discovered that my radiator is leaking on the lower passenger side. Booo... Not bad enough to warrant replacement yet. At least I know why my coolant has ever so slowly been getting lower.
 
Washed mine as well... uploadfromtaptalk1430667538104.jpg
Of course tonight when the sun goes down now I need wash the wife's...
