    So much easier to lube these compared to the TC arms.

    Put on a new rear bumper. I'm waiting for my four-switch panel to arrive. Once that is installed, I'll wire up the cube lights.

    265/75R16 Wildpeakes on 3rd gen SR5 upgrade wheels for the DD. It really exacerbates the 70s muscle car rake. Been looking for 3rd gen OR struts for about 6 moms with no luck. Also as expected, the alignment cams were all frozen but luckily the caster and camber aren't TOO bad. I'll definitely need to replace them this spring.
    Also for the 2015, I ordered a pair of CVJ axles and a 100ah lifepo4 battery.

    I have a similar bumper. Could you link me to the switch panel that you ordered?

    I'm doing the same exact thing for the same reasons. I already rebuilt my TC arms and they're clunking again. The JBA's just arrived and need to install them.

    I rebuilt my bed stiffeners out of SS. I must have redone (grinded, cleaned, painted) my original TC bed stiffeners 3 times due to rusting. I need to touch up some areas still.

    I utilized the same holes and hardware as the TC stiffeners. Also beefed up the supports.
    I do a lot of saltwater activities, so my situation may be a special case of rusting.
    Still learning to weld better.

    I'm close to pulling the trigger on the same. Might I ask who you ordered from?
