    I left my truck unlocked one night. They took my $20 Walmart back pack. The most valuable item in it was a pelican flash light that was gifted to me. Estimated value of back pack and contents was $200. The crazy part was the key to my 4R (which was parked next to my taco) wasn’t missing.

    20+ people here have stripped or broken the head with an impact. Slow torque on a breaker bar, I did it along with many otheres and it works.

    I now offer the Anti theft device powder coated for $12 extra. I only have basic colors right now (blue, green, red, yellow, white, silver and clear) by no means do I claim that they match toyota colors, will be expanding the spectrum soon.
    Thx again for all your support.

    I also offer a stainless tamper proof screw
    And powder coating for additional charge.

    tried the slow torque method and it began to strip out the screw. Went to the hammer style impact driver and completely stripped it out.

    any recommendations on removing this bastard of a screw? Thinking of just drilling it out and replacing it.

    Heating and drilling may be the option
