Whew looks great, I need to install that switch one day been running dual batteries for years and never got around to it. What did they charge to do your wheel if you don’t mind sharing?

If there is a harder way - I will find it...
They did it back in 2021 for $450. Yes, she has been sitting that long...
Haha, I was hoping you discovered what I’ve wanted since I started owning Toyota’s! Unfortunately it’s not quite that easy
Today was a run from vicinity of Leesville, LA to Fort Smith, AR pulling this 19' Carolina Skiff. Mileage is miserable at ca. 10 mpg. I'm really tire of hauling trailers around, especially boat trailers, but to do what I need to do it's a necessity. Left Alabama with a pair of Bearing Buddies on the trailer hubs, arrived in LA missing one. Replaced it with a Reese but had also bought a pair for Tractor Supply cuz it was convenient. This morning lost the Reese hub within probably a few miles. TS chinesium Buddy Bearing hub would not tap into the trailer hub so I ran with an exposed hub for about 60 miles. Stopped and bought a hacksaw, made a couple cuts into the hub and hammered it home. Then wrapped that sucker with Gorilla Tape. It's not a road trip until something goes wrong (I'd like at least one trip when nothing goes wrong).
Finally got to take it out of town for a few days! Ran over to Gunnison for a bike race. Nice to go back and visit. Gunnison is where I went to college and I have not been back since the cruiser towed a U-Haul with all my crap out of there a little over two years ago. While there I hung with my dad and got to play with his new setup.
He got a 2014 Tundra with a Four Wheel Camper on the back. We really lucked out on the combo. I found the truck on Expediton Portal classifeds down in Californa. It was already setup to handle a camper with beefed up leaf springs, fox 2.5 remote resi shocks, total chaos upper control arms, etc. It was totally turn key. On the roadtrip back my dad found the Fwc Hawk second hand that is basically in brand new shape. It is the perfect setup for him I am so happy he got it.
While in Gunnison I did a bike race called the Growler. 40 miles of single track. Damn did it kick my butt.
We took Cottonwood Pass that they just opened on the way home and geez is there a lot of snow up high.
Cruiser rolled 310,000 and did not skip a beat. The Delta arms and Red Head steering box make it so much more fun to drive.

I remember the growler! Hell yea
Replace
Picked up an old school high lift jack from a local pawn shop. $70 cash money! USA MADE BABY!!
All? At that point I might just 180* to ARPs
Me personally I would replace them all. You know that if 2 of them went past their plasticity and they were all done the same way the rest can't be far behind....
Are you still arp for a boosted motor supporter?
I went back and forth on studs vs bolts and thought the bolt theory for dissimilar material expansion rate made sense but now I’m annoyed and thinking studs.
The other question I have to figure out is if the cometic will be fine to be retorqued.
Refinished my spare wheel as it’s getting a new tire because old tire was not same size as rest. It was rough.
Didn’t want to sand aluminum anywhere at my house. So paid $64 to have chemical stripped and sandblasted.
It came back feeling like a grinding wheel.
Lots of filler primer, then silver paint, then oem grey for windows, then the final touch is the 2k clear coat.
Overkill for a spare. Yes. But it was fun learning process and to practice painting.

That was my son's 1st bday gift. 4 wheel drive, remote control option. Amazon.
My opinion has always been if you used the stock head gasket to use the stock torque to yield bolts, if you use the MLS gaskets to use the ARP's
Looks like I’ll be ordering some ARPs at this point.
Pull and torque one at a time? Or fully remove and install arps? Mostly trying to save the new Cometic mls
Just pull them in reverse order that you tightened them and install the ARP's and go through the torque sequence again.
It hasn't been heat cycled. It'll be fine to be retorqued.

There is indeed a different gear that you can swap on for a little bit of correction. It’s not much though.
Don’t ask me the part number, but it’s out there.
