The restoration of this 1997 Toyota 4Runner continues! Today I'm putting the seats back in, but before you grab a ratchet and start tightening bolts, there's something every DIY mechanic should know: torque specs matter.
Overtightening seat bolts can strip threads, damage mounting points, and create a much bigger repair than necessary. A torque wrench is one of the simplest tools you can own, and it can save you a lot of headaches.
As a Land Rover guy diving into the world of Toyota ownership, I'm learning that doing the job right the first time never goes out of style!
