Dealer giving me 20% off all OEM parts for 60 days

It really doesn't matter how it gets done. Whatever is easiest for you and bolts not getting crosstheaded or stripped

 

The RCI steel engine skid is 40-ish. I have not uninstalled/installed too many times, but I usually install the front two bolts just tight enough they do not warp, then do middle 2 bolts. Leaves the 2 rear bolts for after the front 4 are tightened enough to keep it horizontal, then final tighten all.

But you have the T-shirt, so I cannot argue too much.

 

Ok so def gonna ask about the Catshield tomorrow...gotta go in bc my new truck needs an alignment tweak? I noticed while driving it home Thursday that the steering wheel must be tilted slightly to left to drive straight.

 

It was delivered on a cargo truck, and someone earning minimum-wage drove it on AND off.

 

I've taken my truck apart at least for times, 2 suspension lifts, one back to stock and 1 more back to where it needs to be. I need to take it apart again and lower it. I was at 1 inch, went to 5.5, went back to stock, now sitting at around 3.5 to 4 inches if lift. It's always been a work in progress, because everyone's expectations, budget and height requirements differ. It doesn't help, when you one thing to one truck and the same thing to another truck, it's a completely different experience/animal and you spend the next 2 or 3 years chasing down the gremlins.

 

Oh shit, you are in
Good for you, most of us can't say what happens north of the U.S.

 

Skid plates are flat heavy sheets ... cookie sheets on steroids. Whatever keeps bolts from stripping and the plate from clanging to the ground and killing your eardrums.

 

Nope not in Canada...Colorado

 

Could have swore I read you were in BC.

 

"... taking it in bc ..." ... you confused him, darn you to heck!

 

This.

 

Hahahahahaha bc=because, and I thought I was old and out of touch with modern colloquialisms

 

Then we are equally confused
If bc means "because", then spell the crap out. The demographic for a Tacoma is 40 to 70.... we don't get all the acronyms of our younger brothers.

 

Lol

 

Bother, you're lucky I know how even get on the internet.

 

I'm in my 50s but work with millennials and forced to keep up with them and their communication styles

 

Hey I’m in my 30s and had no idea what that meant lol

 

I am 50 and work by myself..... I don't know any of it. Have a 14 year old and look at him like he has lost his mind often.

 

Exact look my dad used to give me
