    That is awesome man! Yeah That is the plan! I mean I like to rep places and brands that I like. I figure if people start to follow, they might want to rep Tunnel Vision 4x4.

    Hell yeah bro. Your truck is sick and I'm subbed to your build now. Also love watching awesome truck clips so I'll be checking out Tunnel Vision 4x4 from time to time. Start making some hoodies and I'll be down to rep it!

    Despite not wanting to spend too much on the truck for a while I have been pushed into this one. My LCAs are shot, Bushings are done, sleeves are moving with in the LCAs, Cam Tabs are flat, Lower Ball Joints are getting ready to go and the bolts are seized to the inner bushing sleeves. So I needed to fix it. I weighed my options and my concerns are 1) New Bushings are a PITA to repair/replace and there is no guarantee that it will solve my clunking. 2)Replace the LCAs which is $261+Shipping and New Lower Ball Joints. 3) Get these bad boys. While clearly these are not a cheap option, at least the bushings and uniball are much easier. I have serviced my UCAs and although it was a decent amount of work it was pretty straight forward.


    I would like to thank Nick @Dirt King Fab for helping me today! Stay tuned to my build thread or TunnelVision4x4.com for updates, reviews, videos, and pictures.

    @Wishbone Runner how do you still like yours?

    Sweet! I was in the same boat before RT and switched them out shortly afterwards since seeing MWOAP peel open.

    I never understood paying the cost for replacement lowers and not going LT instead.

    $5k vs $1800 seems pretty reasonable reason to me.

    Plus I don't want to go long travel. I don't mob in the desert, I crawl around in tight places. It's also my DD and don't need any more shit being thrown on the sides of my truck then already do.

    Alright Total Chaos Cam Tabs are all welded up and the New LCAs are installed. Truck feels and drives so nice now! Also got a perfect alignment for the first time in longer than I care to admit.
