I would, personally. After losing my steering at 50mph (unrelated problem) and finding two castle nuts that I could spin freely during that repair, I don't take chances with steering. I'd drill and run a cotter pin for peace of mind.

He's talking about interior lights. That won't cause any problem. If you replace your turn signal bulbs with LEDs, you'll need to install a 'No Load Flasher' turn signal relay. If you don't, they'll blink really fast

SYE and tcase drop? You don't need both, definitely don't bother with the drop kit they cause problems, only install the slip yoke eliminator.

Went to the pull a part with a friend to help him find a full size spare tire for his TL. Had no luck, but I did spot a pair of 5 spoke alloy wheels that looked flawless. Was so tempting to grab them, but I'd have to haul them home, and since I'm in my little car, space is at a premium. Strangely enough, they were installed on an Explorer.
