How long does it take to setup? I keep going back and forth on an awning but if it take more than 10 mins to setup I will probably pass.

Well, the first time setting it up with 2 people was probably 5 minutes, but that after I spent 10 minutes trying before calling in for help. 2 people can set this up in less than 2 minutes after practice.

Ugh...I had time yesterday and forgot.
How long did the old ones last?

No idea. I didn't log when I replaced the old arms with new ones. Couldn't have been 30k miles. I'm really curious too, because I've been saying these things fail quick.

I didn't measure between the rack and the garage door, but I drove it into the garage and my wife said I had plenty of space.
I measured from what I thought was the center of the roof and highest point. The rack sits 2" above that point.
Dang - 30k miles is too quick for them to go bad. Hopefully this set lasts much longer.

~35k is what I got out of mine, they are junk, I’d rather have the oem on than run the LR UCA.
x2.
Now I am happy I ponied up the extra cash for the Camburg UCAs.

I verified with Wheeler's Off-Road I purchased the arms on 08/10/2015. I likely waited a month to install them. Based on the log on page 1, between 07/12/2015 I had 85,042 miles and 12/06/2015 I had 89,889 miles. I replaced the ball joints at 112,562 miles. I'll estimate they had 25k miles on them, but should have been replaced about 2500 miles ago.
Sounds about right. I rebuild my LR UCA's and the boots tore 10k miles later. So I sold them and snatched up TacoXpo's old Camburgs.
I just don't think they can last period with the rubber boot design. It seems to bind every time you turn sharply or flex
Forgot to add to this, I had my swaybar on when I was running the LR UCA's. It didn't make a difference. I didn't take my swaybar off until I got my original set of Icon's and Camburg UCA's.

I haven't talked to anyone that can keep ball joints on the LR ones lately. They're all eating through them like crazy.
