Thanks.

Yes, you will need a 24mm socket for rear diff and transfer case. The bolts are not too tight on the transfer case, but are on the front and rear diff. I started at the top plug just incase I could not break the bottom one free.

The front diff does use a 10mm hex and the the 4 bolts to remove the skid plate are 10 or 11mm.

I decided to use Mobil 1 75w-90 based on what I have read, but I'm sure there are other synthetics just as good. I do not have a LSD(Limited Slip Differential) stamped on my rear end and to make sure I called Toyota and had them check by the VIN#. I did not replace the crush washers since they looked fine, maybe next time. There are no leaks using the existing washers thus far.

Still concerns me on why the transfer case only had 1/2qt at the most in it from Toyota? I've been driving around like that for almost 36,000 miles!

Here is a link to follow your Toyota maint.

More info on it and how I started initially by reading 4x4Wire:
