I'm ASSuming you can drop it a little bit without disconnecting anything since many folks run diff drops on these trucks. Hopefully it will give you some space to get your hand in at least

[emoji3516] My first thought was to drop the diff as well just to make it accessible.
I've heard of gear oil leaking from breather tubes if the differential gets over-filled. Any chance that happened? That does seem like quite a bit of oil, though.

Is it safe to assume that you are considering extended cab short bed versions of each?
I love first gen Tacomas, but they are stupidly overpriced at this point and very small. Plus after having several trucks with rear doors, there is no way I could go back to having an inaccessible back seat...
Probably not worth it to run every oil change unless you're really trying to nail down an extended interval. I mainly ran one on the Tundra to confirm it had a clean bill of health. I don't plan to do another one on this truck unless I change maintenance schedules or suspect a problem.

That's funny to read you hate the column shifter. I am the opposite, console shifters feel like cars to me for some reason.

6112s (and 5100s) are steel bodies. Icon uses aluminum. Depending on the amount of road salt in your area, that can make a difference.

I have on 06 Double Cab, SR5 trim. The turn radius is notably larger than you'd expect from a just-barely-half-ton. The interior and sound system (mine is the JBL version) also leaves a lot to be desired. The dash feels very outdated and doesn't have much interior storage. The center console has...
Amazing how ugly the new Silverados are, reminds me of how bad the Pontiac Aztek turned out. It really makes me appreciate the understated styling of my first gen Tundra.
I agree with you guys on the Ridgeline having some neat features and adequate payload for most buyers; however, I would...
Did you remove the front bumper to take that chrome strip off or can you get at it with the hood up? That project is on my list to tackle soon...

I'd pay a mechanic to do a third part inspection. No sense is letting misinformation come between you and your buddy if the deal doesn't turn out as you planned.
