Considering the price point, really good. It looks and feels good and has held up for about 40k mi. / 7yrs without any leather or stitching issues. It went in easy, the only scary part was handling the airbag (well after disconnecting the battery of course). I would buy it again, the factory...

Have you considered a replacement instead a modifying? I installed one like this years ago and it is holding up great, a lot cheaper than recovering. Toyota 4RUNNER 2003-2009 BLACK wood genuine leather steering wheel-SPORTS | eBay

x2 I have a set of Limited running boards from my 07 that are still sitting around. Free for the taking in central Vermont.

My key from the beginning of this thread is still going strong. Just double checked, I bought mine in Nov '16. Still working flawlessly on the original batteries. Seeing this thread on the front page every now and then is great reminder of how good these knock-offs are, what a value.

18" limited wheel - free with complimentary flaking paint. You pick up in VT. I will throw in a set of running boards from my limited also.

That info was correct at one point. JBA now uses their own ball joint, which is the one that has the iffy boot we are all talking about. I believe Marlin is trying to indicate that his joint is compatible with those other parts/fitments. These arms used to be offered with the Moog joint...

This is not a GM ball joint. This is the JBA in-house high articulation ball joint. If you want to replace it with the GM/Moog part you'll be unbolting the current one from the arm and replacing the entire ball-joint assembly I am pretty sure. I wish the boot actually sealed the JBA unit, from...

I agree with SHagood, please make a build thread. You have some unique ideas and have done some nice work. We would all love to see that rear bumper set up and build in detail.

x2, great thread. I did everything behind the rear seat with NOICO butyl this fall on a lark and was truly impressed at how much it cut the road noise... it was like someone turned the bass up on the factory sub. I was so impressed that I ordered another round of butyl and the thicker foam to...

New Englander here, the off the shelf ball joint option was one of the main reasons I went with JBA's also. I am running the JBA ball joint that came with the UCA's presently, but if/when they die I will be looking at good quality parts store replacements.

Was your factory sub blown? Let us know how the sound is (both the sub and overall) once you get up and running.

Hmmm.... are PM's broken? I sent it again. Let me know if you don't get it.

Good Stuff!!! You are going to enjoy that setup I am sure. Check your PM
