Well yesterday, i add. some bed rail tie downs from bay area metal fab.
What have you done to your Tacoma today?

Do yourself a favor. Get a 3' piece of 5/16" vac hose from your local parts house and before you remove your filter attach it to the oil filter housing nipple and route it down to your drain pan. It would make it even easier and that much less messy!

5/16" doesn't fit mine way to small nor does 3/8" just checked, looks like 7/16" hose for me. I'm missing the little T nipple.
Only thing I did today with the Taco was fill her up at $3.27 a gal, and bought the rest of my gear oil 5 more quarts to do all my changes. I did do the tailgate mod clamp with heat shrink and washers & locktite then proceeded to lose my T40 screw bit :furious:
I'll be picking up a new one at sears tomorrow, this time I'm getting a 3/8" drive socket $4. Done with the little screwdriver bits! I dropped that one 5 times last time after I was done I couldn't find where it landed. It kept popping out of the screwdriver and bouncing under the truck. I probably have 2~3 more in my several tool boxes, I need to go thru all them and see just what I have. That's what happens when you inherit tools. You get tons of duplicates.

Yeah I wish I had thought of that. Most of it ended up in the skid plate, but I grabbed a small plastic container that collected the rest of the runoff. fortunately the skid plate was very easy to remove.

well here's a little work were doing for a fellow TF member since he's busy at work

Rear needed, new axle bearings, seals and a bolt prep

Today I stopped and bought some LSD additive, the final piece for my upcoming gear oil changes and then crawled under her and blasted all the fill and drain plugs with Liquid Wrench. Something odd I found on the fill plugs of the rear differential and the manual trans fill plug was a blue line painted with something like hardened wax from the nut to the casing. The front differential and transfer case plugs didn't have this. I'll take a pic tomorrow and post, maybe someone will know what this is. I wonder if it was done at the factory when built. Only plug with rust was the rear differential drain plug. When I do the change I'll clean it up and give it a shot of undercoating before I reinstall. I did check my sockets on them and found that the 15/16 6 point socket fits tight and snug whereas the 24MM 12 point socket was loose and had play, so will be using the 15/16 6 point. Don't need a strip plug.
