Took a little over an hour to pull it. Had to cut down the driver bolt some to get it out.

As predicted. Haha. Did you try and pull it without cutting it first?
Yep. No fucking way it was coming out without cutting it. The cross members are slightly different between the runner and the Tacoma. I'll need to get a new bolt at some point, but there's enough red loctite and threads engaged that I'm just gonna keep an eye on it for my trip.

Sketch level 3000. Hahaha. with all the issues Andy and mike have had witn these coming loose
Okay lemme rephrase that. There's no way it was coming out without cutting unless we pulled the battery, the alternator, and the AC compressor.
Yeah. It's definitely sketchy. Haha. I drenched that fucker with loctite. Think I'm gonna have a new bolt shipped to Matt and then swap it in when I get to bishop so there's more threads engaged.
You got a part number? Perry Motors is the local Toyota dealer. Call them in the AM and it will be here by Thursday. Or you can ship it to my house if you want. It might not get here in time though. Bishop is always an extra day for Fed Ex and UPS.
I'll dig the part number up tonight. There's one in thousand oaks I could probably snatch up on the way but it's kinda out of my way.

Why not call another toyota dealership that’s on your route to try to get the bolt by Wednesday?
I could try that too. I meant to just order it when I was picking up steering fluid but dude was swamped. If they can get one in by Weds morning I can grab it before we leave and swap it out when I get to bishop.
I just found a pre-packaged kit that uses 4 gauge. The difference between 2 and 4 is about 30 bucks. What do you think? Oh, and are shit will be way cheaper then the linked kit. lol

Did you already price out the cost if we DIY if we do 1/0 or 2?
50 bucks for 25 feet of each. It's not "welding" cable but it's been powering a big portion of my rig for the last 3 years.n

IIRC mine got loose once, both mine are red loctited and double nutted
These prices are without tax and only include the wires and connections. No welding goggle or welding rods.
I didn't bother pricing 1/0 because it is overkill. Or that's what you told me. lol
If we use 2 gauge it's $165.
If we use 4 gauge it's $135.
That's for the whole thing so divide that by 2 and that's what we'll each be paying. We should have done this a long time ago.
I was thinking safety wire when I get a chance.
I'm just going to start using JB Weld as loctite. lol
