    Did they keep up with greasing them? Haven’t been out that long, how many miles did they have?

    I got the same one that's on my taco but bigger this one is the 12k . It's a Smittybuilt knock off . The one I've had on the taco is 6 years old and had no issue.

    Luckily I work at a Lexus dealership and are friends with the technicians. Especially the technician with the GX that knows what he's doing.

    Not sure if you can get JBAs for Lexus but if you can then I’d look into them. SPCs were fine on road but mine liked to move on me while wheeling. Even after tightening down on them.

    Why for? A little discoloration should be fine.
