    When we put those brakes on, I've got a dremel and an angle grinder, between the 2 of them they'll make shortwork of those tabs.

    Haha, yeah, it'll be a mini mod day. Just slapping on some brakes and getting those tabs off AJ's bull bar. At some point I might have to host one. I'm looking into a set of LR UCA's and wasn't paying attention to how Miguel's went on :eek:

    Also gotta give Rob a lot of credit on the back, if he hadn't stepped in, that driver's side shock was facing a serious beating with the BFH :mad:

    I just read a thread last night about the bushings failing in the lr ucas . I think they are redesigning them or something

    I sifted through a lot of those threads, it seems the original version had some problems and the bushings failed prematurely, even quicker if off roaded. SPC, the manufacturer of LR, replaced the bushings and I guess were great to deal with. Since then, the bushings have been revised and don't seem to have the same issues. Recently (within the last 2 weeks), they released a poly bushing replacement for their control arms and I guess they're selling the upgraded bushings cheap. I'm hoping to get ahold of a used set of UCA's and swap out the bushings before I throw them on my truck.

    Here's the new bushings:

    That would be the way to go . Used for cheap and just replace the bushings
