    There's probably a better place to post this but :D last night when I was removing my third a couple of the studs unscrewed from the axle housing. What is the best way to fix this? Double nut the bolt and screw it back in with some loctite?

    I double nutted mine and used the vise and some PB blaster. I think it is more reassuring sliding the third on the studs than assuming the stud is in the correct spot and risk stripping it.

    (Cuz I've done that before and stripped it out)

    is it possible to move the steering box too far forward? If I trace the holes that are on the frame plates and try to put the steering box where the holes are, it seems like i'll have to damn near cut out my front left body mount. any pics of anyones steering boxes on a taco frame would be awesome.

    No, ended up using the pre made Trail-Gear ones. The plates themselves had a bit of wiggle room. Could shift them 2 ish inches forward or back and still be able to cover the frame.
