    Really like the bumper! This is exactly what I've been looking for but no one makes a plate bumper that I like. I'm wanting to build my own as well. What did the materials cost you, if you don't mind me asking? Materials for bumper build only, not hitch. Thanks

    I'm curious to why you had to replace the LCA...I seem to notice a constant looseness in my front suspension but I always chock it up to it just being a IFS thing.

    Well last month i went in for an alignment and he said he couldnt align the cambar and caster because my LCA bushings were toast. Whenever i stepped on the brake the truck would pull to the left pretty hard. I thought it was just a rotor issue but it wasnt.
    I go quoted something like 7-8 hours plus bushings cost for the job. I said fuck it and ordered new LCAs for $100 each of RockAuto. But little did i know the passenger side cam sleeves were seized into the bushings. So i had to torch them out and order new sleeves from toyota. $27 each.

    So instead of $8-900 at a shop to just get new bushings pressed in, i spent $255 for new LCAs and new cam sleeves. It was a bitch forsure, but worth it in the end.

    Decided to attempt a boot change. After about an hour of sheer frustration, anger, and lots of beer i got it changed
