Just in time for Pismo!

Cool. Did you get a good look at the underside of the replacement part? Was it well painted or was it spattered over spray? Are you going to take any precautions to make sure it doesn't bust loose again?
From what I saw, the whole piece was coated in the standard black that seems to come on every new body part.
Looks like they did a good job on it. I still haven't had an opportunity to check mine, but it feels fine, and that's good enough for me right now.

If it came in the standard black, I'd do your own coat of paint of some sort, just as a precaution.
Other then that looks great!

My nut cracked its tack welds when I pulled my seat recently (IJM 5-speed). I just drilled through the subfloor and bolted the seat in with a much longer bolt and secured with lock nut and fender washer. I guarantee it's stronger than the original mounting system.

Like you drilled through the bottom of the floor? With a bolt head or nut under the body?
Yep. Locknut and fender washer underneath, bolt head on top. I'm not the first, a couple on T4R.org have done this.Originally Posted by 4x4mike

Did you have the same failure? What year and color is your 4Runner?
