    So should I upgrade tie rods since I'm replacing one or keep the factory ones so I don't put extra stress on the steering box? Ideas?

    Yeah I'm not a big fan of the TG rear bumpers and I actually like the ARB's up front. You will be adding more weight up front though.

    Then you're good to go. I would trade the front for rear then sell the front and buy a new rear or some skids.

    i agree with Ruben. The main reason i don't like ARBs is how they mount, at least on tacomas its too flimsy unless you change the front mounting point. i also think they look to big and boxy. That's just my personal opinion, tons of people love them.

    one bolt through the front of the frame and two through the tow hooks. trail gear adds a cross member and utilizes the factory bumper mounts. i don't have much experience with either, just checked a few out when i was building my winch plate and helped.a buddy mod his arb to get it a little more solid. To me trail gears seemed much more sturdy.

    Nice! TW to the rescue!

    As for my own damage:
    -Ding/scratch on drive side rear door
    -Bed Lights/Lamp not working
    -Shattered my Back-Up Camera
    -Dent on front fender
    -Odometer illumination flickering ( goes from bright to dim on it's own )
    -Alignment is FUbar'd. Going straight my wheel is turned to the left a 1/4 turn
    -CV's spit out a crap load of grease

    Going to replace my passenger wheel bearing tomorrow and clean up the grease and get an alignment. Hope I didn't bend anything. Also need to order up new limit straps.
