What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Currently trying to install my 5100 887 combo and when trying to remove the bolt that's secures the bottom of the shock I noticed this. Is this normal? Do I just try to keep loosening the Nutt off?
Any advise is helpful

 

I'll post a few tonight.

Is what normal? I see a loose bolt. Am I missing something?

 

The end of the bolt looks fucked up

 

That's normal, the groves anyway.

 

Recalled cat?

EDIT; Just read that recall is on 4cyl

 

Threads are smashed? The notches ate normal. You could just try and take off and cut if needed. Or try and clean it up with tap and die the remove.

 

Thanks , it got pretty hard when I got to theat end part so I wasn't sure if it was gonna fuck up the threads in the nut

 

Idk I guess it's normal, back to work for me

 

If it is then just replace it. Good luck on the lift! I'll be doing one next year. It's always fun.

 

The bolt is normal. I assume you loosened it?

 

Thanks this is my first time lifting it myself

 

Yea when I got to the tappered part it got hard and I posted here to make sure it was normal

 

Totally normal. I just did mine. Used an impact to remove all my nuts and bolts.

 

Same thing my wife did ​

 

Sounds painful!

That's what he's into

 

Only till you pass out then no more pain.
