Yeah I might have to remove the whole running board. That may help to get to it better, but the plastic top of the running boards still resides under the 2 plastic pieces in question.

Of course now I have doubles........cool

It didn't post my pics.........

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. I stole a pic to show you. The 2 plastic pieces go over the running boards in the front and back. Where it says nuts, they are located underneath the running boards and just spin in place. The nut underneat is the only part I can get to.

If you don't mind that would be really cool.

Thanks guys. I'm not 100% sure what you're saying Broncosi, but next time I get to look at the truck I'll try to figure it out using the clamps.

When I do a quick blast with the accelerator I hear a somewhat loud shhhh like a blast of compressed air in the engine block. Under normal acceleration it isn't really noticeable. It's when I hit the gas quick it kinda stutters and then the gas kicks in and when I do it even faster is when I...

I'm trying to remove the plastic piece covering the top of the running boards. There is another plastic piece that goes from the wheel well over the running boards. I can't get these off cause the bolt underneath just turns in place. I've tried PB blaster and no go. I've tried prying up on...

Yeah I heard about POR-15. I've already ordered the Rust Bullet so I'll let ya know.

I am a bolt breakin' SOB, but I don't have patience either. Guess I need to try better. So you think I should try to remove this stuff for a better rust coat and to replace the nuts and bolts and not just cover everything in rust bullet.

I want the hitch and if I take it out I don't think I could get the nut back down the frame hole properly.

I can feel the nut in the frame hole, there is a lot of rust in there. It's so tight I would probably break the weld. I'm just going to leave it in place and seal the hell out it, bolts and all. I guess I'm going to do the same for the Y-bracket. If me or someone else wants to remove it...

I removed the mudguards, and side chrome pieces. Removed the top black plastic piece. Had to cut out the chrome face bar. There are 2 Y-bars. They seem to bolt into the underside of the cargo floor. I removed the carpet hoping to find the other end of the bolt but didn't. I'm worried that I will...

The tranny fluid looks great. See and I have this issue when I'm coming to a stop it feels like it grabs and shutters to the left, a little loud too. The guy I bought it from said that this was the only issue he knew about. Says it's somthing with the front brake sticking. Also, claims his...

I topped the coolant off and started it up, added a little more coolant. Blasted the heat and it came to temp and held this time. Maybe it burped itself somehow. I still might do an incline "burp", but it seems fine now. I took it to the Toyota shop and told him about the oil in the...
