    Used gear oil is awful smelling!!
    I wouldn’t worry about changing it if it were me as long as it’s a 75w90 or 80w90 I’d run it but that’s just me. I think my 4th gen has 2qts of 80w90 conventional and 1qt of 75w90 synthetic in its rear diff right now. No leaks, no shudder, no problem.

    Is that epoxy sealant to prevent water in-gestation?

    Well I used 2 different things. I used silicone caulking on the inside of the control box (you can see me holding it in the first picture on the bad unit). Then I put silicone caulking around the entire rim as there is no rubber gasket or anything. Then I put the black flex seal. The flex seal comes off pretty easily but the silicone caulking is holding pretty well. That is what I would use.

    Ditched the old halogen bulbs for some LEDs. Visibility at night is much better. Really beneficial because I leave for work at 530am and hit up backroads before I hit the highway. Day 10 of ownership and still loving my 4R more and more every day.

    Glad the leds worked out for you. I'm just running the cheapo h9 bulbs which improved visibility greatly

    Put in glove box organizer and mounted APS iBoard 6-inch Aluminum (Black Powder Coated Flat Style) Running Boards. Over-torqued last mounting screw and broke bolt in half. Waiting on replacement. I have a known history of one last turn too many.

    The trick to avoid this is to say “click” right before it breaks or strips. :D

    I don't disagree with you. I really like the Runner and his bumper design! Very clean looking

    Great looking 4R. What lift kit did you go with and what size tire are you running?
    Thanks in advance

    Picked up a set of pro takeoffs plus Westcott lift and dobinson rear spring from a 2021 for a decent deal. Toyed with going 6112/5160 but this will do!

    I gotta say I'm not really a fan of the Limited...

    But all the chrome blacked out against the red, and the combo with that hood is fuckin sweet man..

    I'm with you, it would look even better than it already is with lunar_t4r pro suspension. SmartSelect_20220421-074830_Samsung Internet.jpg

    If you have KDSS, two right or two left front Pro Fox coilovers are needed or it will have a lean.
