    Ken has done a few of my Toyota's, including the 4:88's in my Tacoma. He has a pretty nice SAS Tacoma himself.

    I have mods
    I have ratcheting wrenches but was only able to reach 2 of the 4 bolts and even then, they won't come out unless I can lower the mechanism a little bit. Then I can get the other 2 bolts. Otherwise, there is a bed support cross brace that is in the way of getting the other 2 bolts.

    You know, I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me to use my grinder. Sawzall came to mind.

    @BartMaster1234 yeah. hole right at the shock mount gusset. It makes a nice cup for dirt, no telling how long it was full of crap. Figured the CBI plates where the easiest solution and should be stronger than stock.

    Looking for this fix to buy me a few years, until I can get a garage space set up. Will eventually cut out any leftover rust and box the frame/shock relocate etc.

    Just my old CBI ditch brackets, I still have the other side. I use to run them with light pods and an antenna but I didn't really find the ditch pod position all that useful so I only put the drivers side back on for the antenna
