walking around outside last night playing basketball with my son during 1/2 time of the Nuggets game… (Hell yeah Nuggets!) I noticed this on the ground
Well that looks like a Toyota bolt, and the size seems like it goes on the Land Cruiser. I look around, yep still only have 1 cruiser.
This is a bigger bolt so slightly concerning. Hop under the cruiser to see what’s there…or not.
So I check the other side.
Well that’s interesting. The other bolt was finger tight. I went ahead put the other in, tightened them all up.
You can also see I have a few little leak/seeps happening
it appears to be mostly that oil pan. Not looking forward to pulling that and sealing it again.
All I can hope is that the other bolt fell off on the road and bounced directly towards a jeep and impaled a rubber duck.

It’s the Cruiser’s way of saying they didn’t actually need those bolts…walking around outside last night playing basketball with my son during 1/2 time of the Nuggets game… (Hell yeah Nuggets!) I noticed this on the ground

That’s a brace for the engine to the bell housing
Maybe it's like the 90s Ford Taurus where if you drove a certain speed on the highway the sympathetic vibrations would spin the engine mount bolts loose.
...or at least many years ago somebody told me that was a thing.

Well she’s a rattly diesel so anything is possible.
Took her into town, quick stop at the car wash and relaxing drive home on a hazy Smokey day. What better than some Grateful Dead to jam out to.
So the main leak I have is the front timing cover. No gasket available online…the 14B gasket is close, although I think it’s different, need to research more. It’s not a big leak at all, just messy and annoying and the timing cover isn’t the most fun job.
Got the VIN inspection today so I can get Colorado plates. Local Toyota dealer wanted $50 to do it
VW does it for free. 
They were geeking out and asking all sorts of questions. Car guys are car guys. I had 1/2 thought of going to the Jeep dealer just to show them a real 4x4, but I was fearful of an OEM rubber duck so I passed.
Cleans up decent, amazing weather at 75 degrees.
And to put just some sort of tech, here are some bolt torque specs for what those numbers and markings are on bolts from the factory manual.
So the 6 marking on the bolt would be the 53 Ft lbs.
thanks... gonna check mine nowwalking around outside last night playing basketball with my son during 1/2 time of the Nuggets game… (Hell yeah Nuggets!) I noticed this on the ground

Not sure about 50% of the local population here in Southern Georgia but I’d certainly be offending a large cross-section of teenage girls, middle-aged women, lawyers, accountants, and all of those folks that like “angry eyes”.Exactly! I’m pretty particular so I’ll just make him do the stuff I don’t want to lol
So many jeeps in Colorado. I’d be offending 1/2 the population

Same for Texas too. As cool that sticker is, it will get my paint keyed. I need it for my fridge though.

Hello,
What ever happened to this sticker?
HOOK UP THE JEEP HERE ↓
Is it offensive as well?
