Ha ha! Yeah, I’m the opposite! I guess it’s like all things, depends on how much time you spend doing it, and what you’ve been taught or spent time learning. Metal fabrication/welding etc is a dark arcane art to me, but probably because I’ve never been taught or bothered to try to learn. Might have to rectify that before too long. I notice the Toyota Landcruiser Club offers welding courses from time to time free to members, might take them up on it…..

For 2 bucks I could weld on a big nut that will never round off.

That's precisely what I did to get mine removed, the issue with that is that you can't re-use the same plug, because the heat created by welding de-magnetises the magnet.

I just bought a new plug from Toyota, and used some never seez to make it easier to remove next time. I also bought some chrome-molly hex tools with an impact driver and 1/2" fitting on them, which makes it much easier work with a breaker bar.

Or just buy the replacement plug so it's a 24mm like the rear.

I have all the good 10mm hex, if someone has butchered it, or if it has been over tightened, the tool is the go, really works well.
Better than I thought.

Came back from Perth yesterday and installed the TapTurn with Strobepack Relay which replaces the old flasher relay and I think it's pretty cool

Looks pretty cool until you get defected for not complying with ADR 6/00..

Cleaned all the paraphernalia off my dashboard and all the micro usb charger cables threaded through in readiness to go to my Toyo dealer on tuesday to start the warranty claim process for a cracked and melted dashboard..

Lol that strobing feature can be turned off completely when needed so no one knows nothing. It's got the ability to make the car look as stock as a rock or be a little party as you see. Or I can just go back and put the factory relay back in

Has yours melted? thought cracks and chipping were the worst the Prado dashes get…

The surface is definitely goopy, especially after sitting in the sun on hot day.
I'll take some photos later today and post them up.

Threw in a set of Titan drawers. It took WAY longer than an hour as quoted by the sales bloke. Also touched up the paint chips.

This is after sitting in the garage out of the heat, it is much worse after a day or two in the sun. Feels sticky pretty much all over.
