How much do they weigh each?

Fair to say about 8lbs each as the package was +17lbs

I only ordered the rear lowers as I already have a Sonoran Steel panhard bar.

 

Hope those treat you well


Makes me remember doing fab and finish grinding on the ones the fabrication shop I was at made for Jeeps

 

Badass; never knew you were at a fab shop.

Funny to see these bolt on upgrades are just peanuts compared to the stuff they'd do in-house.

I had decided to look up Resz Fabrication a bit more today after finally receiving my links only to see the shop is really popular among FJ Cruiser owners.

Heck, there were even threads about going from Metal Tech arms to Resz because there were reports about the Metal Tech's breaking even.

One thing that was echoed a ton was, Resz Fab's extremely long wait times since it's a really small shop and one guy makes all the popular parts they sell.

 

I was so close to calling them and saying they 'pulled a Dallas' and demand a refund

 

Have a link to these threads/report? I have MT upper/lower rear control arms sitting in my cart. Was planning on calling tomorrow to see what the lead times are. Really like the fact that they use Johnny joints and are made to articulate WAY more than stock. Also adjustable to correct pinion angle and center the wheel in the well.

 

I miss having the real thing when I lived in Germany

 

Existence

 

I had just run into 2-3 threads while looking up orientation and how people liked them; it was by accident as I just looked up Resz rear lower control arms.

 

@Gen1FTMFW

If I were you I wouldn't hesitate buying Metal Tech.

I went Resz Fab just to stay away from the joints seeing as how I daily my 4R.

If it was a straight crawler, joints all the way.

 

Gotcha.

Original plan was to just replace all the stock bushings with a kit from Energy. Got halfway through the bushing replacement and figured out they sent the wrong parts. Bushings are all correct, but the sleeves are way too big.

Instead of returning/exchanging the kit and risking getting the wrong shit again, I said fuck it and decided to just buy new shit. Trying to get something pretty quick cause the GX is sitting in the garage in pieces.

 

Someone install my shit for me please

 

I own many car parts.

sadly Toyota did not send them assembled

 

Pretty sure Miguel has one.

speaking of which. I’m going to his shop Saturday. Does anyone need parts?

 

I would. But I’m busy being Hoosier

 

You’re busy not completing any of your cars

I swear my 300zx is gonna be completely restored and sold by the time any of yours run again

 

I need a filler neck and a gas cap

 

Tundra, corolla... both bought undriveable. Both driveable. Tacoma got more goodies in today

 

Ask @Sperrunner if he’s willing to part with the one on the fuel tank sitting in the backlot. If he is I’ll go get it for you when I visit him.
