yeah... they can suck. It's like they picked out the already most inconvenient bolts to get to and said "How can we make this even more of a pain in the ***?"

If the ecu is from a standard that's fine but the tcu that's another story...assuming you have one? As faras the flywheel goes make sure its per motor year, and the cps is per motor as well

Just venting. I've seen Toyota leave huge 14mm plugs aligned with the main jets in the carb. I've seen every auto maker from A to Z. Yea some lack of love for some (How many u's in Suruew). Jeeps will test your metal. Just cruel, no two ways about it. Always some odd thing that's tough.


Oh, and Toyota also put a glass window so you could see the float level in the carb.
