    Nice! I'm thinking of getting a ball peen hammer and making the body of mine look like a golf ball so I get more adhesion from air going over the body.
    Maybe I'll finally get 20mpg then

    Don't think so, will be going to the Appalacian Toyota Round-Up though. The mounting kit is from Columbia Overland and the batteries are group 35's so a little bit smaller.

    I was going to answer your question, then I got distracted by your profile picture :eek: What did you ask me again?

    Oh yeah, I got it from real trucks.com. They had a $50 rebate, so I couldn't pass it up. Yes, it is Part#: AMP-74811-01A. I got the tonneau spacer kit and the quick latch mounting kit as well. I probably could have gotten away with one or the other, but I ended up using both.

    Yes, haven't decided which one I'm bringing to it though. You two need to turn up to one of them as I have a bottle with you names on it from Mike.

    I have a question if anyone can help me. My lower control arm bushings are going out. Should I (1) get new bushings, (2) get new factory lower control arms, or (3) get new aftermarket lower control arms?

    Well I'm eventually going to get aftermarket UCAs and LCAs, just not sure if I want to drop ~2k on LCAs when I don't even have UCAs or coilovers yet. So I guess that one is out. Now to decide, bushings or full factory replacements? I hear replacing bushings is a b*tch.

    It can be. Go get Toyota OEM bushings, take the old ones out, heat up the area the bushings fit into and you should be good. Or you could try pushing the bushing in without heating up first. Either way a push press will be a must.

    If you control arms aren't messed up, just do the bushing route. It will save you money for the coilover, UCA, LCA setup.

    Honestly if your plan is to go aftermarket I say get the LCAs now. The Toyota bushings will cost about $200 for all 4, aftermarket bushings are crap fitment for the most part. There are ways to do it without a press, that work well.
