I have worked my way out of that pickle with a hand chisel, but if you can find an extraction bit I would start there first.Anyone have a simple fix for this? I stripped the front diff plug trying to do a 200k service. Figuring I have to weld a nut on?

Hammer firmly around the outer edge. This will compress the copper gasket and it’ll loosen right up.Anyone have a simple fix for this? I stripped the front diff plug trying to do a 200k service. Figuring I have to weld a nut on?

Is that the "Lexus LX: bolt Ive seen others talking about in the forums?Hammer firmly around the outer edge. This will compress the copper gasket and it’ll loosen right up.
Also 90341-24016 is the part number for a plug that will bolt right in but replaces the 10mm internal hex with 14mm external. As long as it’s not over torqued this is much more resistant to sticking.
That's pretty solid at 8 years. I'm still on the original panasonic, hope to push to 2 more years. What's the replacement? dealer Tru-start?Replaced the original Panasonic battery. Sad day
Still has juice. Started to get a slow on the turnover.
It’s from a Lexus IS technically.. but yes it gets talked about around here.Is that the "Lexus LX: bolt Ive seen others talking about in the forums?
Interstate from Costco. No need for AGM and system is built for lead acid. Systems are great in these trucks!That's pretty solid at 8 years. I'm still on the original panasonic, hope to push to 2 more years. What's the replacement? dealer Tru-start?

They were there when I picked up my 27F at the Athens, GA Costco.Does costco sell the group 31 (larger) SLA Interstate batteries where you are? I don't think mine does iirc.
These are the OEM tires for the Ranger Raptor, right? I'm trying to decide between getting these or waiting for the general version of the 285/70R17 that's set to be released in August. Any idea if there's a difference besides the sidewall lettering?Valley coolant leak

Was it easy running the light cable through the door gap? I'd love to see some more details/photos of this option. It's more covert than mounting above the hood, which really I like.

Awesome. Thank you for the details. I'll likely go this route.Was a bit of a pain. These are the Kaon mounts that I notched to allow the wire to pass through the gap and under the fender. I have a Switch Pro so once in engine bay it was easy. I am using the KC Flex 1, which has an obnoxiously large wire, but I was able to get it to fit. No modification of the fender metal, just has to cut the top of the inner fender plastic so the wire could pass through! On passenger side I had to weld on an extension to get around the snorkel.

Absolutely man - just let me know if you need any other pictures - I ordered directly from Kaon as they shipped overseas.Awesome. Thank you for the details. I'll likely go this route.
