Getting my rig back in tip top shape, today I replaced my left lower link/rear trailing arm on the left side it was a pretty fun job took about 20 minutes max very straight forward (2) 19mm sockets and a floor jack. I also lost a mirror last weekend when hitting clipping a tree when reversing passenger thought I would share some pics of the damage and fixing the damage.
This is my stock trailing arm compared to a new one i got off a wrecked 09 4runner with 50k miles
the lower link got used as a rock slider at the rubicon lol, I thought only my left one was bent but I realized my right has a slight bend in it after crawling under the car.
Had to rip the passenger door panel off to put on my new mirror fixed everything at the salvage yard for 100 bucks
in less then 45 minutes
