    Sorry for a stupid question. How do you get this plug out of the LCA on my Pro? I’ve never had them on past Tacos. I’m putting on my LCA skids.

    Nice to see one of those. On my 2017 I had to go to Lowe's to get some plugs to plug those exact holes. Without them they whistled like crazy.

    I was hoping to not use my muscles LOL ;)

    Also, not the easiest to maneuver in there. Figured there had to be an easy way. Trying to work “smarter vs harder” :thumbsup:

    If I remember correctly, on my 16, Toyota had a TSB for these. The ones they put on mine were just some rubber grommets. They should just pull out pretty easily with a screwdriver I believe. I’ve upgraded to an 18 now so I can’t say for sure.

    I put my LCA skids on without jacking the vehicle so I'm aware of the tight space. I mean it looks like a plastic cap that's very tight. Did you try a pick set? Did you try anything? The best solution might just be that hammer and screwdriver. Puncture it, then pry.

    Did you notice that those pants were a little tight from sitting in the closet for 5 years, right next to your "are you effing kidding me?! It's a plug, just pull it out, skirt!?" And matching high heels.

    :rofl::rofl:
    All kidding aside happy you were able to DIY and not take it to a shop to have them install ... air ... where the plugs were?? I dunno. It's Sunday but I work 6 days a week so it's Friday for me
