NEED OPINION ON FREE 4th GEN!

[do_it_RAW]

Now that I have your attention I need some help. So, this maybe a dumb question but I have to ask because they annoy the crap out of me. Can you remove these brackets PN# 51226-35060? They are attached on both sides to the front frame rails. This is my third 4Runner and I don’t remember seeing these on my previous 4th gen. I hate that they’re visible from the side of the vehicle. I don’t have a pic of them on my rig but I’ll attach a pic of the part in question.

yea you can remove them they bolt in. You want to remove them because they look weird?

Hilariously I spent quite a while recently trying to find the correct part in case of replacement, plus drilling out rusted, headless bolts to replace these brackets and secure them back onto my frame.

Yes, you can remove them. Also, you updated your post to attract attention the same day you posted, and on a national holiday no less? Patience friend, this was no flashing check engine light
