What did you do to your truck Jeff?

[Kicking Horse]

Nothing. was driving down the road last night and the truck came to a skidding stop. It qappears the fix will be a 2 euro bolt.

<sigh> Dang things will rust to death before the engine quits.. Kinda like the old Toyotas of the 80s.. Too bad Toyota can not build them as reliable as they used to.

Toyota trucks used to last forever, now it's just like any other brand.

You would think trying to find this bolt would be easy. it's a 3/8"-24 x 3 3/4"

Only thing keeping me from driving my truck!!!!

Chevy Dealer says it's a No Service Item. Fastenal does not have the head that I need but they have the size. Junk yard I dont feel like getting up under a truck to pull one. But I have the feeling that is what I get to do tomorrow!

Well She's fixed for now. I need to buy some new shocks and replace all u-joints. But she is good go for now.

I ended up buying a hex bolt from fastnal and shaping the head with a grinder. This was suppose to take 2 hours to fix and it ended up taking close to 6 hours due to RUST :).

[EagleAce]

glad you got it fixed! I've been in that situation before when you can't find a simple fastener!! My car can be hard to get parts for. It needs weatherstripping for the doors and no one has it!!

They're supposed to be orange! Those particular ones need to be repainted. It's the Mountain Chief lift and Highline lift that have orange chairs in that set.

Alpine chair got the towers and chairs repainted last summer:
