WOW, found some loose parts on my 2002 Tacoma 4x4 yesterday....

I was under the truck greasing the driveline and checking on things.....

I was looking at the rear tranny/transfer case mount and found that out of the four bolts that connect the tranny to the mount, there were only 2 left. In fact, of those 2, only 1 was tight, the other was half way out. I couldn't believe it........

I tightened the existing bolts, and went to the dealer to pick up 2 more. $0.89 later I was good to go.

I should start checking nuts and bolts more often. Weird that this would happen on an '02 Tacoma though, still pretty new.
