    Installing strut bar?

    I'm planning on ordering a TRD strut bar for my 00 rolla.

    How do i go about installing it? Can i just leave the car on its wheels and unscrew those 5 bolts on each side and put it in and tighten it back up?

    yeah strut bars go on top, pop the hood, remove the 3 bolts on each side of the struts (make sure your car is on the ground) don't have to remove anything else beside those three bolts on each side, put the strut bar on top of it, put back the bolts and you are done.

    just make sure it's nice and tight, don't over tighten it, you might break the bolt.
