    Oh dang, I was quoted some astronomical number for OEM by the local Toyota shop and never went to confirm. I see them for $100ish online; at that price I'll just buy that instead of ever doing another bushing replacement.
    The only time I'll look at something more is if this happens

    I always thought the Trailer Products looked the best... sucks you have to sand them so much to fit. I've never heard of McNeil before... have to look those up
    I totally think you should. Its so easy to lift a rear tire with IFS a locker is necessary. Its made my life SO much better.

    All fiberglass takes some work to get perfect. Not sure why they can't be consistent with the molds but I had a pair of Trailer Products fronts and they actually fit pretty well with no real work to be done. I switched to Glassworks because TP doesn't make rears. The Glassworks needed convincing to fit properly and I understand most glass does.

    Lots of jumping and mashing on brakes seems to be the word on that set. I blame go-fast people.

    Resale on Tacomas are some of the highest around. A 2011 DCLB is probably like $24K. Key points are no frame damage and I was able to start the engine and put it into gear.

    Nope, airbag luckily didn't go off. I was only going maybe 15 mph and hit the right rear corner of their car with the front left corner of mine. It almost kind of pinwheeled the bumper into my front tire. The fact that the bumper wasn't tied into the frame might have prevented frame damage.

    Anyone have spare stock wheels and tires I can borrow to test drive my truck? I'm trying to pinpoint the bounce in my truck to inbalance tires or something else.

    Does it have to be stock? I have 275's on 17' wheels you can use.

    Random idea, has anyone considered having bumpers hot dip galvanized? I don't know if you can paint over it... but if you can, I'd imagine that's the ultimate idea for rust prevention. I'm also unsure if the cost is simply prohibitive, too.
