Ok...couldn't remove my running boards last weekend. Those screws were very hard and also it was very cold outside so I gave up.. so sprayed some wd40 . and finally today it was a very nice and cool day and decided to give it another try after asking some guys to do it and they wanted to charge me $50...Hell no!...50 just to losen some screws?....Jeesh!...well...
I guess the wd40 helped a lot because today removing those running boards was a piece of cake.

I tried at least to mount the brackets for the new tube steps but had a hard time removing the bolts where I suppose to mount them. will try to do it next weekend.

here is a pic of my babygirl without the runningboards.. she is very dirty . But it looks like she was lifted a little...

Yeah...it worked...I want to put the new ones this weekend...but I am having a little problem. The screws where I suposse to mount the brackets...wont come off!...they are loosen but I keep turning them and they move/turn but they stay right there in the same place just turning!...I will post a pic of what I am talking about later...I took some pics from under the car so u can see. I got the socket to remove this part but for some reason it wont come off. Maybe I am doing something wrong or need another tool??...Will appreciate some advice...I really want to get this done this weekend.

This is what I am trying to take off!! According to the instructions here is where I need to mount the brackets.

Does anynody knows how to take this thing off?...

 

[4Runner8]

thats the body mount and u might have to have the body on a jack to un bolt it.... but thats a wild guess
