It was easy. I paid Slee to do it when they installed my lift.:) If you have an impact gun that’s usually the best way to break stubborn bolts free. In my experience it’s far less likely to break one, and I’ve found a lot of stubborn bolts will come out just fine once you get past their...

Mine didn’t have any signs of moisture or any visible corrosion, FWIW

FYI - Permit is only required for white rim

I’m beaconing. Stopped for the night in Fort Morgan.

Truck is loaded as of last night. Gassed up today, finished packing a few things. Picking up a friend of mine tomorrow morning and planning to be in Grand Junction Sunday evening to camp around Rabbit Valley as that’s where the Kokopelli run starts on Monday. See the rest of y’all at the...

I have those same white marks on my WK sliders in the same spot. Also a black mark on the edge of my garage door frame. My wife says she has no idea how that happened. How much prep do you need to do with that SEM black? POR15 seems to peel off the bottom of my sliders after a year...

Going from stock to 33s for most folks the speed will actually be closer to accurate. It's typically under by a few mph. There is a way to adjust the speedo, but it involves installing a canbus-enabled box and splicing some wires. I'd have to find the thread with the device. Even on 35s I...

Heh. If you bring them, I'll take you up on them if I destroy my Asfir skids this week. The Asfir ones are OK but I've dented two already. They're (mostly) re-flattened but a couple good rock hits could render them to the recycling bin. (But don't hold them for me or feel obligated to...

Toyota’s lifetime is 200-250k miles. That’s not published, it’s just my viewpoint. Your vehicle lifetime and my vehicle lifetime are different. If you buy an LC and are happy to get 250k out of it most trouble free then follow the maintenance schedule and move on. You will have some...

Trolls are easily enough handled. Click their name, then click Ignore. You’ll never see their posts again (though it is weird when you see a random reply in a thread that makes no sense). In fairness sometimes people come off as trolls online because as humans we have to visual or aural...

Not sure about the Dobinson’s coils but factory coils are the same up front left or right, both length and 600# stiffness. In the rear the passengers side spring is longer though they are the same 170# stiffness.

If the transmission is operating fine when you start this you’ll be fine. The only reason I wouldn’t do it is if you had a lot of slippage already, as it would likely make that worse. But if the fluid is decent and unabused then exchanging some (or most/all) is fine and should help extend the life

I would think the tie down points underneath the recovery points might be less since each one secures just a fraction of the weight. My guess is Toyota likely doesn’t rate their recover points above the vehicle weight. They may have a much higher breaking strength but for liability reasons...

I’d love to see this rig finished. Wish I had the $ to acquire and finish it. Was always hoping to get a chance to wheel with you again once this was complete, man!

Front-to-rear “rake” won’t have an impact if the rear thrust angle is right. An alignment printout will help. I’m guessing you’ll find your leaning to the right very slightly. Just a hunch, I could be wrong, but when I had a lean torque steer was much more pronounced.
