What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

I wish I’d have done that instead of just replacing the bulbs.

 

What sandpaper grit and sanding method do I use (by hand or tool) for raw steel that will be getting mild degreaser and then Raptor etch primer? Thanks

Installed Lasfit rear amber led turn signal bulbs to match the fronts. Holy hell they are the awesome!!. They should just come from the factory like this.

 

I feel for you for all you have to do in BC to protect steel...I don't know what prep @water used on the one he used, and/or the one he didn't, that I bought from him, but here in NM I could mount them bare steel and call it done.

 

Both factory bolts look like this first time removing rear frame tie down hook.
Is this a certain type of tapered bolt or what am I looking at, it doesn’t necessarily look like thread strippage?? The new fasteners don’t have this and don’t seem to fit (easily)..

 

I can now say, i have done both.

 

I don’t know what that OEM style bolt is called. As long as the threads match new bolt to OEM, you may need a thread chaser to clean up the frame threads so your new bolt goes in clean.
