    YES. every warm day, it falls. I've got some VSB tape for it, but that will never come off, even when you want it to. I tweak that knob constantly. It's gotta be handy.

    Nice paint job on the custom grill! I was considering the same grill and painting the surround silver also. I have the TRD Off Road so my grill is chrome around

    Well the ones I had were not greaseable which was the main concern because they would have eventually broken at the ball joint. Well technically they are greaseable but you have to take the boot off to grease them rather than a zerk fitting which the new ones have. They also have new bushings that are 1000x better than the old ones. But my main concern was to not have this happen to me. You have to email them and ask about the trade in.

    :ohsnap: You had me worried there for a second I just installed some a few months ago but they have the zerk fitting on them so I take it they are the "new" ones

    I just ordered 6 of these:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004T1PLDW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Granted that's right at $36 for all of them, but Amazon is easier for me than Ebay, so I go there when possible.

    Also, do yourself a favor and get one of these....

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BVSA3S8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Best $15 to spend for a plug job.

    You guys should be careful buying plugs off Amazon, very well documented that there are a TON of fake plugs being sold on there. Do a search on it here or YouTube.

    Best to order directly from a dealer online or just pay the stealership price.
