    Hey man, quick question about your TRD skid plate. I haven’t been able to find much information about putting them on second gens. I know they are direct bolt on, but how does everything line up with the oil drain plug? Do you have to remove it for oil changes or does it have a hole or removable door?

    If I'm not mistaken you have to remove it if you have the 2.7 but not with the v6.

    Replaced the old burnt resistor with the new style (square plug) on the X, now my A/C works in all the speeds. Easy 15-20 mins fix.

    I got it towed to the nearest Toyota dealership.

    The propeller shaft will need to be replaced. Flying shrapnel punched a hole in the muffler and busted a gas tank hanger strap.

    It's looking like a $1800 repair.

    Found out I have some Amazon money so I bought a Hi-Lift bed rail mount. Should be here Thursday.
    Now I can get the jack out of my living room.

    2 things. Installed the Meso $27.50 Black Friday special dual color map lights and a failed attempt at plasti-dip on the engine cover. My own fault. I forgot that when I did my 2016 I used a razor to trim off the masking. Oh well will do again on another warm day. Just too impatient today.
