    I agree I bought some tc ucas for $550 but they only had 50 or so miles on them.

    Well I was happy with my alignment. Until I was on my way home tonight and I noticed my lower control arms had loosened because they weren't tightened to spec. Clunking and popping like a mofo, Ill be heading back to the tire shop first thing tomorrow morning.

    They have been damn good for me on 2 Tacoma's. There was an early bushing issue years ago 2009/10? and for some reason everyone that doesn't have them likes to hammer them. I have more miles off road than on and on moderate trails with no issues. Pretty sure BradyT runs them on his Flying Krawler and has had no issues.
    Best bang for the $!

    I think any comment made about a $30,000 vehicle on a forum from a computer...most likely over a wireless, high speed connection is a #firstworldproblem.

    Here are some pics of my interior LED's. Must say it was a bit of a challenge for the reason I was being extra careful trying not to break the plastic covers. I also found the stock bulbs on the map lights to be a bit difficult to take out. Either then that It was a cool and easy mod to do. :thumbsup::bananadance:

    Id like to see how those look, I have these right now and they're super bright, but the light pattern is too projected and not scattered enough.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Brigh...D-Reverse-Back-up-Bulbs-194-W5W-/151028972413

    but just ordered these to replace them because they have extra led's around the side that should fill out the light pattern more.
