I had the same thing happen to me. Pliers and xacto knife to scrape plugs out. Then, tap the threads to clean out the hole. In The 2013 model I have, the plugs were basically glued into the hole.
Adding to the conversation, Atlantic British has a trailer brake controller you can buy to. It just basically plugs in and you’re all set.

Thanks! Your memory is good. Straight forward install. I reused the negative side plastic plug on the stock battery for the negative side vent and just plugged in the plug/connector for the positive side vent. All other connections were spot on. I ended up going with a East Penn/Deka Gold 694RMF...
If you had to dig out the plastic plugs installed from the factory, you may not have got them all out completely. When I did mine, I was surprised how deep the bolts went down. I wouldn't torque beyond spec, you could strip the threads in the holes and cause more problems.
Clever, thanks for the post. In my case, this method may have worked but my rig has seen 3 winters with road salt. The plastic part inserted into the holes had essentially been bonded with rust and grime, so I could not unscrew them. Ended up popping the cap part off, drilling into the hole...
Great post and good looking rig. How's the wind noise with the rack up there? I expect noise when stuff is strapped down but wonder if barebones rack is noisy.

Sorry, Todd, here is a link. Make sure you buy a set with metric. I can't remember what size the bolts were but pretty easy to figure out with the tools in the set. The 50-pic metric set would be good. It has all the right parts. When I had older cars, my tap/die set saved my butt on many...
I had to drill them out and use a xacto knife to finish scrapping the plastic bits out. Then got the right tap to clean up the threads. Pain in the butt!

I just changed mine also, not quite 3 years of use. I also had to buy the $20 kit from a LR dealer because I had the peeling issue on my daily use fob.

When I was shopping around One service advisor told me the Premiers are an excellent road tire but not meant for more than a hard packed dirt/gravel road or the occasional wet grass situation. He told me the LTX M/S can be taken off road on the occasional rutted path/light mud. Since I went to...
Tongue weight of your trailer could be a limiting factor with the factory setup. There is a Rhino hitch, with positive reviews on here, that gets you more capacity.
