This is great! I wish I can come, I'll bring you a car load of beer, but I'm in NYC.

I apology if I get this wrong. I'm just a bit confuse by the postings.

Let's put it this way: If I have an 04 AWD and I changed the Transmission oil and the Gear Oil (located in rear of the car). Am I good to go? Or did I missed anything?

you still need to change transfer case oil up front.

Now I really really wish I live near you and bring some beer for the weekend. I swear, I cannot find it!! I look everywhere and touch it all out with my hand, all over the freaking place and CANNOT find a drain and/or a fill!! I look thru all the gaps as well.

Do you guys think there might be a different in the Japanese and Canadian model for the same year? I have a Canadian made model.

I'll see if I can go under and look again when I have the chance - might be in the spring. I just change my oil...
If I find it, I'll definitely take some photos.

If anyone doing this project, it would be great if you post some photos.
