Same thing happened to me. I used a pair of vice grips on the portion sticking out the top and got the bolt out the way you were thinking.

Can anyone verify if bad lower control arm bushings would do this? Mine are pooched and my wheels do this.. My rack is leaking from the top but everything else checks out.

You lost me at headlight tinting..

Can't be more than 15 lbs..

This was last week but I pulled my rear windshield wiper, sanded and gave it a few coats of semi gloss black. Also put tire valve caps on with Toyota logos on em that I got from Wish.

dont them seqwoias have the same brakes as them tundras? :snacker:

3rd case. My shop says the actuator is timed and they can't be bother with pulling it. They'd rather replace the whole case and I've found a couple locally for cheap so it was easy enough to bring them one when mined crapped out. Every time they said it was the actuator that was failing. I have...

Images not working but I'm extremely, extremely interested in what the people say. I'm on my 3rd ****ing transfer case on my 98 limited and I'm facing the exact same issue time and time again. Those who say throw a Jshift in there, I would if I could lol.

$8700 Canadian for a 98 limited with a new 3" Bilstein/OME lift, ARB bumper and 252,000 kms.

Another vote for roof rack bolts. Back em out, pump a bit of silicone in there and install again. For the rails bolted directly to the roof.

I'm shocked that you're learning about this now - the loose vc bolts. Seems like common knowledge around here.

I would think it's not worth the risk, man.. 23 year old rubber? Hell naw.

Adding to the discussion here.. when I pulled my 'new style' LBJ bolts a while back, one of the bolts snapped off in the knuckle. Luckily there was lots of thread sticking out the top and I backed it out with vice grips. When I called the dealership to buy the 'old style' bolts to replace them...

This makes sense. I bought the later model bolts for my LBJ job and torqued them to 59 ftlbs about 6 months ago. Fast forward to a couple weeks back, I was pulling the LBJ to service my CV axles and half of the bolts were stretched.. I replaced them with the older style bolts immediately.

Do you have a roof rack? Mine was leaking from the bolts that attach the rails to the roof. I had water coming down from above the headliner above the drivers seat and it would trickle down to the floor behind the panels. I just pulled each bolt one by one and pumped a bit of silicone into the...
