    I've installed TRD parts I have known to be rebranded parts that meet Toyota specs. No big deal. The difference is TRD parts, even self installed, are warrantied when installed properly. And TRD install instructions that I encountered are very very meticulous.

    Look, what's the goal here? To have the TRD part? Ok I guess I get that they are gorgeous. If its for performance then I'd just go get a BDS upper and call it a day. Lifetime warranty, cant beat it. Its what I have on my truck and its great with my 22 pro's I installed.

    Lifetime warranty on what?

    I'd assume the BJ is not covered.

    I'd get the TRD version if they were cheaper and engineered as nice or better as JBAs. Just because. Why not? But I need proof.

    SPC's are hard to beat due to their adjustability, and their affordable price. It's been said that you can get a set from Rock Auto for about $400. (I paid $600)

    well think about this, Toyotas engineering department and money spent on creating a upper control arm is probably a lot better then some shop with cad software. just my 2cents
