    I've stopped using penetrating oils, makes more of a mess and even after a soak it never seems to do anything. Coating before it rusts or siezes does something though.

    Even in Washington, and Idaho. Couple YouTubers showed it hardly does anything. There are better penetrants and even then it's nothing impressive.

    I can read it perfectly, I just don’t try to look at it too long. The data cable goes through a switch blank behind it since I used a 2001-2004 valence.

    The threads were screwed up...I couldn't screw the new bump stop in, the bolt just drops straight through the hole without grabbing. Don't know what happened, maybe the original bump stop got cross threaded. So I'm kind of screwed now lol, I got some high strength epoxy/JB Weld and thinking I might try sticking it on that way. Never used the stuff before though so I'm not sure how well it would work.

    It won't work, trust me. Just tap it over one size bigger and get another bolt for that size

    Oh they haven’t.

    Maybe for five minutes when I was testing them on my paved road, and five minutes in someone’s gravel driveway.

    4LO baby!

    Please do! I have friends with Wranglers and one who has a HMMV who doesn’t know a single thing when it comes to off-roading.

    Clavey river trail. Its about 2 hrs or so away from you and you can camp by the river. Its not a long trail by any means but will be a fun adventure for you.

    Nice. What kind of brake lines are you running with your Tundra calipers?

    Typically use atf and acetone mix, it def breaks down the rust but typically if I want to not snap a bolt it’s usually this combined with a map gas torch and careful hands.

    I've heated bolts and hit them with a hammer to get them loose. Works 1% of the time though
