Rear Member Support Bar Install
___________________________________________

Pretty easy install.

Tools Used:
Torque Wrench
Ratchet and Extension
19mm Socket
Low-profile jack
Red Thread-Lock

**Torqued bolts to 107 ft/lbs**

In Accordance With (IAW) Toyota Service Manual:

I reapplied red thread lock to the bolts. (**not shown in this pic**)

Support the rear member with a jack or jack stand while installing bolts so it does not sag too much...too much sag will throw off the alignment needed to reinsert bolts. I tightened one side by hand (extension with socket) then the other. Torqued bolts to 107 ft/lbs.

Performance Bars Install
___________________________________________

Tools Used:
Torque Wrench
Ratchet and Extension
19mm Deep Well Socket
6mm Hex Socket
Low-profile jack

**Torqued bolts to 59 ft/lbs (at LCA pivots), 107 ft/lbs (at sub-frame assembly). I believe I did 40 to 50 ft/lbs at the performance bar joint hex bolt**

These joints are installed behind the LCA pivots with existing and provided hardware. These joints are universal.

Installed joints pictured.

Front Support Under Brace Install
___________________________________________

Tools Used:
Torque Wrench
Ratchet
10, 14, and 17mm Sockets
Low-profile jack
Blue Thread-Lock

**Prior to beginning, remove 7 10mm bolts from underbody panel to reveal installation area.**

Remove this 14mm bolt (one on either side). When reinstalled, apply blue thread-lock (not necessary, my preference) and torque to 44 ft/lbs.

**I supported the member with a jack in order to keep the holes aligned.**

Provided hardware will be installed in these holes... one hole on either side. Apply blue thread-lock (not necessary, my preference) and torque to 55 ft/lbs (unverified).

One of the supplied bolts as viewed from the front looking back.

No need to hold nut when tightening because lip (pictured) keeps nut from spinning. The supplied bolts are 10mm diameter with 17mm heads and 1.50 thread pitches...I torqued them to 65 ft/lbs even thought they are rated to handle a little more than that.

In Accordance With (IAW) Toyota Service Manual:

Tight fit when reinstalling under body panel.

Completed install (minus under body panel).
