    Anyone know where I can get low control arms for a first gen tacoma. Been looking for months and can’t find any mud or long travel arms. Thanks

    Welcome. I would keep a watch on the marketplace and only get factory ones, just my 2 cents.
    Enjoy the forum

    4 run, 2 don't
    Plenty of vendors offer kits as part of a long travel setup.

    Why do you need new arms? Is it because the bushings are worn?

    You can choose ways to do replace / refresh lower control arms with various methods increasing costs:

    Basic bushing replacement.

    Next would be Parts store / Dorman / Moog branded replacements about $220 on Amazon for a pair.

    Then OEM $450.

    Then boxed lower control arms with the Solo Motorsports arms pushing the wheel forward an inch $1150-1300.

    https://www.solomotorsports.com/sho...pension-kits/stock-length-lca-tacoma-4runner/


    Then long travel which requires upper and lower arms from MCM Fab, Solo Motorsports, BTF Fabrication, Total Chaos, Camburg, JD Fabrication etc. which are legit setups. $2000-2800
