    Gee, I don't think anyone here would have any ideas on what to mod next. Wait, what........?:spending:

    You were lucky to get any of them out. I had to have my mechanic use electric induction to get one of them out! Two of the heads were stripped by the time we were done. ( I say we, the mechanic got half of them, I got the others.) I bought a used set from a member on here. Not going to pay around $20 per bolt from the dealer!:mad:

    Installed a Tech Deck from Birddawg Industries. Solid product but I was disappointed with the finish. Contacted company who said they had some issues with the finish and offered to take it back. Opted for a couple coats of spray paint.

    Took about an hour or so to put in (extreme version so I had to pull the radio). Solid mount when done.

    thanks!
    Yea, I used a 2’ pipe over the socket wrench to make sure I had plenty of leverage. Never would’ve got them out with just the wrench alone.
    And fwiw, I got the new bolts for about $11.50 each new from the dealer. Still pricey!

    A strategically placed pipe wrench on the bolt head will loosen most of them. You need to push down really hard on the pipe wrench while turning it.

    Yea man, I wasn't thrilled about it either but I was happy w/ the convenience and speed of oem delivery. I didn't feel like searching for a bolt w/ the right thread and length. I know thats lazy because I'm sure there's some out there.
    For anyone else who wants oem, I went through Norwalk Toyota.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Yipes.

    I did mine today too actually. I installed some bed stiffeners so I figured I’d pull em all and anti seize em while I was at it. I was able to impact 5 of the 6 out and reuse.

    Still gotta figure out how to get the last one out without destroying the head of it if possible.
