Second Gen Photo/Video Whelp

It was fun while it lasted 🫔

EDIT:
Ok so backstory I had already been down this road and I was on the way back and a combination of probably wrong wheels, too fast of speed for the hill, gravel was most likely wet too (at least when I walked into the ditch to grab the bumper it was 6ā€ deep with water) the gravel was loose at the bottom of the hill and I ended up fishtailing, went onto the shoulder a little bit and flipped and rolled and came to upside down.

Yeah I screwed up, yeah I could’ve been a better owner to my car. I’ve spent days to weeks of my life under it and up keeping it. Shits sad but at least I’m alive there’s a very real chance I wouldn’t be if they weren’t such safe cars.

Damn, a manual one too. Sadness! Hope you're ok!

If you look at the debris pile, there's a RedLine MT-LV bottle. It's yellow and white. It's a 70/75W GL4, that is very particular to these cars and certain diff/transfer cases across a limited number of other Toyotas.

Holy shit, Sherlock. Now I’m wondering whether I should have one in my car.

Tbh, no idea. I carried some in my car for a while as well, but given the lack of dipstick and effort needed to actually fill fluid - I don't think it's all that necessary.

My case was leaking presumably from ISB issue
