98 Tacoma , 4X4 3.4 V6 -- shield
Over the many years of having my old changed, I noticed they stopped taking
the lower front shield off the bottom of the truck to get at the oil filter.
I didn't think much of it until I went to change the filter myself. It turns
out either the bolts are missing, cross threaded or rusted. I broke one off
trying to get it loose. I don't see any way to get the shield off without
breaking the rest of the bolts. I do need to get the shield off as I see at
least one oil filter laying on the shield but can't get to it. So someone
along the way dropped it and let it go.
Anyway, I was wondering if once I get the shield off, it it's okay to run
without? I don't really do any off road stuff, mostly highway driving. I'm
sure I'll break off the rest of the bolts getting it off.
