They were fine. I developed a front end noise shortly after installing them and installed some stock ones trying to pinpoint the noise but it ended up being a worn ball joint and I haven't had the motivation to swap the longer ones back in.
My guess is that is a plastic cover for a nut or bolt that is under it. I would bet if you used a pointed pick tool the middle will come off and reveal the nut/bolt.
That panel and the ones around the rear window switches are the last remaining ones in my truck. Looks more like a Land Cruiser without that stick on wood.
Finished the Redarc tow-pro elite trailer brake controller install and swapped out the flat 4 pin connector for a 7 pin one. Next project will be adding the trailer charging wire to the connector but I didn't have enough wire or time today to do that.
Started working on my Redarc TowPro Elite trailer brake controller. Got the blank for the stock diff lock switch drilled out to work with the standard control knob plate that comes with it. Tomorrow I'll hopefully get the rest installed while the kids are at school.
Tore apart the right front to replace my torn inner CV boot and worn lower ball joint. While under the truck I found a nail in my LR tire. Luckily it went in sideways and into the larger tread block and didn't puncture the tire. While replacing the boot I did the stretch mod so hopefully it...
It's done when you do a lift, plus the bushings in my front links were worn out. I didn't notice a difference in handling. I came across a couple posts claiming that some from flex is gained by running the longer links once lifted but there was no articulation measurements or pictures to back...
So the front of my truck has developed a very small clunk over bumps and I figured since I'm lifted and the original links had 325k miles I'd start there. While the Trail Tailor links look great I do not have $145 in the budget for them. So Google image searching I went. After a little while I...
Lots of little projects today. Replaced my squeaking blower motor, discovered my right high beam was out and found the fuse was blown and replaced it, did the mod so the fog lights stay on when the high beams are on and replaced my air filter. Hopefully later today my new front sway bar links...
This coolant pipe has a slow leak and I'm trying to find if it has a replaceable O-ring or if I need the housing. I tried looking on the Toyota website parts section for my truck but couldn't find it in the engine/cooling system section. This is behind the t-stat housing assembly just under and...
