Mine were direct bolt on. I got everything from a 2011. If you don't have the larger sport brakes already, you'll have to do some trimming on the dust shields. But otherwise everything bolts right up. From what I've seen, they have much less issues with the seizing part!

Finally got around to doing all the brakes. New calipers, rotors, pads all around. It rides so much smoother (rear calipers were seized...) No more resistance and it coasts for a good while now! Bedded them in and they grab hard and fast. Now on to the rest of the maintenance before the baby comes!

Anyone else stalling on projects due to lumber/construction costs??? ugh. So glad we got the deck done last year before the spike and when you could actually find stuff. But $8 for a 2x4 stick hurts pretty bad, and paneled goods are just as bad. Rant over, I guess it's a good time to get the...

I went JBA and am happy with them. High caster for the lift and alignment was a breeze. Super easy to get back in spec, didn't need all the adjustment from SPC. Wanted something with a ball joint instead of uniball due to climate in MN... and I like the fact they are replaceable (again like SPC)...

went from a supercharged, lifted, armored 3rd gen to a V8 4th gen limited (lifted with tires, but no skids/sliders yet) the 4th gen is much more comfortable as a daily. More room, creature comforts, a few extra airbag which was a plus, and felt a bit better with a growing family in it. If it's...

I found my 07 2 years ago with 70k on it. It was definitely a grandpa car, and from when services were done, it seems like it was a summer car in upstate NY (was skeptical on buying in the NE, but the frame was clean - and original, not touched up) But it was driven frequently enough, I'd be...

what about this? 2006 w/ 22K

Reach out to them, they've added it as an option that mounts to the frame similar to some of the other front recovery points.

Yup, last summer I repaired all of mine, and for that matter also my wife's 2010 corolla. Same thing on both vehicles. Easy enough, just a couple were tough to get to working around the muffler, etc. Took probably 20 minutes including finding washers and the right combinations of extensions and...

That is such an incredible gift! Especially at this time! Take them to the range next!

Had the Grabber AT2 and loved them. Just didn't have the ATX in the size I wanted. Hopefully they round out their options in the future for us pizza cutter people!

I had it between the GY Duratrac and ST MAXX. Went with the lower weight (by like 10lbs per corner...) with the duratracs. Really wanted the ST MAXX and I feel like they would be the better tire, but again, that much rolling weight would have been a much bigger hit...

I have these and was going to bring it up as well. They're great so far (don't do much for hard offroad stuff, but mostly forest roads, etc.) Weight was absolutely fantastic and they ride really well. Wish they came in a C Rating, but for some reason the load capacity is actually more than some...

This is my mentality as well. I removed the front in my 3rd gen but drove it like a lifted truck and generally picked back roads. Now the 4th gen is DD and road trip vehicle with the family. So it's staying on for me

UCA's won't get you more lift, but they'll get you to factory alignment specs. I think 885 is 3" which is pretty much max to try without UCA's... I did 884s and still put on JBA's high castor UCA's to make sure I have flexibility with my alignment. Maxing out the castor also allows you to have a...
