    I dunno... never done that one before.

    I don't even actually know how to open my hood:notsure: do I need to do that to change the oil?

    I can just crawl under the truck and do it all, right?:cool:

    Only tool I need is a hammer?

    I'll be at a friends cabin by Big Lake Sunday through Tuesday, so I won't be able to make it. But I'm having my own mod day tomorrow. Gonna take off my front bumper and figure out how to mount this damn light of mine finally. I'll post pics of what I come up with.

    it was alright. i stayed up till about 3am tinkering with my stupid alpine radio haha. i went in and swapped the dumb plastic mounts that come with the scoche dash kit out for the metal factory ones which turned out great! but while i was in there i fixed up some of the other wiring and replaced my PAC tr-7 video bypass module cuz it went bad. but before i got into that i was going through my truck making that list for the mod day and just general maintenance that needs to be done and im glad i did cuz i found my coolant and power steering fluid to be low! no bueno lol. but i made a whole list of all kinds of little things that need to be done so now i can actually start doing them instead of having to remember them everytime haha.

    That's my last resort. I don't even know if I have enough room to get it in there. Just got off the phone with Toyota and it's 16 bucks a piece to buy the replacement bracket if I do cut it. Oh well. I'll let it soak in PB blaster a bit longer.

    Step 1. Tie bumper off to solid pole
    Step 2. Hit reverse as hard as you can ripping bumper off
    Step 3. Buy new aftermarket bumper.
