No, didn't torque them. Used old school muscle gauge to tighten em.
I was power washing the bottom and next thin I see was the bottom washer all loose . Checked and at least 2 of the bolts were loose.
Here's the new nuts and bolts. I'll deff be checking them periodically to make sure they're still holding tight.
Hmm are you positive the original nuts and bolts are grade 12? They just didn't seem like they were.

I'd torque them to FSM specs:

I took that pic from this site: http://personal.utulsa.edu/~nathan-buchanan/93fsm/ .
If what your pictures show is correct then I'm 100% positive they're a metric 12.9.

Not expecting to see much at this time. But be darn happy if a black bear is around, other than that, mostly just to get out and enjoy driving the truck

i honestly didn't expect to see any others out there, since the hunting season is mainly over, but there were 5 other Yotas out there.

I think I'm going to SAS In a few year .

Wow. I can get SAS for $400
In town labor to fab it is going to cost me $2k
And the SAS kit around $1500 or so.
I think I may jump the boat next year...
What do ya think ? Doing a SAS on an auto tranny. ?
