So I never post anything, but I thought some people may get a kick out of this. So I went to install some new shocks on my runner, and the rear passenger side was giving me the worst time trying to come off. I tried everything to get the nut off. Finally had to use an angle grinder and cut it off. These were 21 year old shocks from the factory. This is what the top looked like when I finally got them off. Don't know what the he'll the second nut was doing on top, that's how it came out.




Needless to say, finally got it off, but i will def change shocks much more 9ften than the last guy did. You can see where it was seized to the rust!

 

They look like mine after 3 winters .

I just cut them off any more.

 

I bought this from up in Denver area, so I'm assuming he had the same issues.
