After watching that video, I feel violated.

Also have 1-1/4" bora spacers installed. About 3" taller, barely fits in the garage.

use a torch and heat it up, that'll loosen it.
Heat is your friend on rusted junk. I soaked mine in PB blaster and three of the four came right out the fourth came half way and then broke the nutcert in the frame.... I ended up cutting that bolt off with a cutting wheel and calling it a day.
With the advice on using heat, I was able to remove the rusty bolts in the rear. The front was not rusty and using just a breaker bar got them removed. So changed out both the front and rear OEM recovery points and installed Trail Tailor ones (soft shackle). Discarded the oem tow hook, too.
Here's one of the rear ones after install. The OEM bolts were rusted, but I had purchased all new bolts and washers from Bolt Depot.
Both rear sides installed.
A view of the front OEM recovery point and the tow hook.
The OEM vs the Trail Tailor one which is much beefier
Finally, a view of one of the front ones installed. The OEM bumper makes it hard to get a shot of both unless from below unlike the rear.

For real! I have to settle for being collar choked in cheap gis for now!
This is a video that was helpful - Clean series100 sunroof drain tubes
Had the head unit replaced with a Kenwood with Apple CarPlay (and Android) and a rear camera. - CarPlay works great so does the backup camera. This is a great upgrade to your legacy LC infotainment, plugs right in with no dash modifications
This control arm had less that 20k miles on it 
I wonder if there is a way to "fix" the curve?

Tube benderThis control arm had less that 20k miles on it
A simple spark plug change / bad ignition coil became much more when I pulled out a coil and noticed oil in the tube. I pulled the valve cover and sure enough, some idiot mechanic had simply forced the grommets in the slots without bending back the tabs. The grommets on the leaking tubes were ripped in places letting oil thru. I punched them out easily enough, but you can see from the image how the tabs were bent in. Pulling the other side this week as I know what I'll find.

Are you running projector retrofits in the stock housings?
I think that’s still fixable. Looks like you had fun in the trails? More pictures of the “fun” plsThis control arm had less that 20k miles on it

I have put on a new Toyota arm but want to get the old one straightened out as a spare.
This comes off the Golden - yes I still put on a new Toyota arm on it even though I am selling it
