Hi Jon,

The oil you need is GL4 or 5 SAE 75W-90 gear oil, in the gearbox and the transfer box as I drained both.

I would fill the gearbox and transfer box with the above oil and run the truck for about 20 miles then drain and refill. That should be enough.

just fine over hear, the spots are the same as the ones you already have arent they?
surfs still suffering from last outing( spare tyre is wrecked and arches need filling and spraying, Sall's still not happy with me) but wont let me buy another 4x4 so will have to wreck this one

Run gearbox through with 50/50 parafin and engine oil (cheapest you can buy ) until gearbox hot . Then drain and fill with grade Jon specified.
My opinion and not stated by Toyota.
