    It’s 6.5 quarts with the filter change.

    Yeah that’s fine the 5qt jug isn’t filled up to the top when you bought it. Should hold 6.5ish quarts so if you filled up the 5qt and had a little left over your fine.

    I run the Mobil 1 M1-301 extra capacity filter and can get 7qts of oil in mine. I do annual oil changes. And it’s time. I’ve got lots of miles this last year compared to most and suspect I will be doing oil changes more often now that I’m dailying the FGT. I put 4900 miles on it this year.

    I was looking for the volume of the actual jug because that's all that basically came out. Thanks though.
    The original post may have been worded poorly, my bad. It's a weird question to begin with, I know.

    Probably as @shifty` mentioned, 6-6.25 qts. I remember it being the same since I dispose of my Mobil 1 in the same 5 qt container it came in when I bought it.

    I usually buy 3 - 5 qt jugs at a time and leave the remainder in the catch container until I’m ready to toss out two oil changes by bringing the 3 - 5 qt jugs back to Wally World.

    You know, we hadn't considered that. He was going to leave off the cover pieces until he decided if he needed to add any more rear spacers. When he gets it fully dialed in, we'll try to reinstall them and I'll try to remember to comment on it.[/user]

    Discovered that a couple of bulbs were missing the Tundras.com master list! Somebody left off the vanity mirror lights. :rofl: OEM is a Koito 12V 1.5W "fuse" type bulb (30mm length). I ordered these LEDs from Amazon. They're a couple of mm short, but the OEM bulb is actually a little long for where it clips in. We'll see how they work.

    To dip or remove, that is the question. Dipped them 10 years ago, one of my rear fender PPF thingys has peeled, one has not. Are these things removable? Easily? Mine are crusty AF

    IMG_2012.jpg

    I’ve plastidipped them before with pretty good results. About 10 years ago

    IMG_2014.jpg

    The one that’s still going strong today. Starting to fray around the edges. 10 years is a good run though.

    Shoot I think my dealer charged me $5.xx. Also, is that the same for the fill plug or does the fill plug not have anything. I need to do this soon

    I did. I used a heat gun set to 450º, plastic flat razors, and sticker/adhesive remover. Turtle Wax brand, which may or may not temporarily soften clearcoats. I can link you with more details if helpful.

    That’s just the drain plug and it’s for the ones where you fill it via the dipstick.

    No dipstick for mine. They said both the fill and drain plugs use that same metal crush washer but I thought the fill used a black rubber washer.

    Those appear to be too big for the drain bolt on the transmission.

    The square tube section of the frame is collapsing vertically in the front. I don't have the time, or the funding both due to youngins to do anything about it

    May look into seeing how the rear cross member looks :drevil:
