ARB Deluxe Bars Bumper + Warn Zeon Platinum 10-S Installation

All installation is performed over 1 or 2 months period.  I have an open air garage (no garage).  So, all installation need to be done during day time.  Weather also another factor for the long installation span.  The winter has been brutal in our area.  We got snowstorm till mid April. Before installation start, there are a few prep work can be done.  I have done the following task before bumper installation.   Prep winch for installation to the bumper. Bumper pre-prep tasks before installation to the Sequoia.   Winch Prep (Warn Zeon Platinum 10-S) The winch I choose for this installation is Warn Zeon Platinum 10S.  This is a winch rated as 10,000lbs pull capability.  If you are looking for the specification of the winch, you can find it at the following link.   https://www.warn.com/truck/winches/ZEON_10-S_Pltnm.jsp In additional to the winch, you will need the following parts. ...

Toyota Sequoia Transmission fluid change/flush

I need to change the transmission fluid for my Toyota Sequoia.  Since I'm the 2nd owner and I don't know the maintenance record from the previous owner, it will be a safe bet to swap all fluid from the vehicle.

I'm planning to flush the transmission fluid.  Get rid of all transmission fluid and have fresh fluid to the transmission.  Hope this effort will pro-long the life of the transmission.

If you wonder what is the steps to do a tranmission fluid flush on 2008-current Toyota Sequoia, I found a video from Youtube that will help you.

From the youtube video, they listed the item you need
What you need:
An oil pan with measurements on it.
14mm deep socket or normal with a 3" extension
24mm regular socket
5mm hex key, although I recommend a socket in case your bolt is seized
Needle-nose pliers to move hose clamps
10ft 1/2" ID tubing to drain
10ft 5/8" ID tubing to fill (no larger than that or it doesn't fit)
A funnel that can fit into the 5/8" tubing
2 paper clips (one to hold the AT cooler valve open, one to jumper the OBD port)
Something like a narrow flat head screwdriver to push the AT cooler valve in
3+ gallons of ATF fluid (The AT takes about 3gals but you want about 3 qts extra)
Lots of paper towels or rags to clean messes
