They were the final push for me to get my TC LCA's so I have them to thank for that

And do remember there are MOOG parts (logo will be stamped on part), and parts sold by MOOG in a MOOG box just so that they can win National Accounts. As a matter of fact, in most, if not all cases, when an aftermarket line takes over a competing line, they typically just rebox the competitions product into their own. That is one of the reasons OEM parts are consistently better. Not that they are neccessarily made in different factories, just that the spec is tighter and much more consistent.

Ive had them in a web shopping cart so many times...looking back I'm glad I didn't, but that's just because it hasn't moved in 3 years.
When I did mine there was little to no choice so beggars couldn't be choosers. Even Toyota at the time was telling me to just buy a new LCA. Even spoke to some Toyota & Lexus techs so I knew the service writers weren't filling me full of bs.
I haven't been on TW in a Loooooong time but here's my old DIY from 2011 DIY LCA Ball Joint Replacement 2005+ Tacoma

I bent the "C" that I borrowed from Vatozone removing mine. In the end if it wasn't for adding heat to the mix I'm doubtful I would of gotten them out.

Built a drawer system for the back of my wife's 4Runner and got to test it on our road trip to Austin this past weekend.
I designed it with multi-purpose in mind. I know that the vehicle will get used for family vacations as well as camping trips. I also have 1 complaint about the 4Runner....absolutely zero hidden storage compartments. If you have something, it's in the open to anyone who looks in.
Purpose 1: Mobile Mommy Station. Drawer on the left is perfect dimensions to fit a baby changing pad with cover. Drawer on the right can hold diapers, wipes, etc. I still need to figure out how to keep these from sliding around. I originally intended to run some channels in the side to that I could add dividers, but kind of forgot in the excitement of putting the thing together.
Purpose 2: Camping. Will hold ample recovery gear, camp stove, firearms, etc.

You can usually fit some stuff under the rear seats when they aren't folded down flat in most cars. In my Subaru I could fit a small long arm w/iron sights. Gotta sneak it in with the seats half down so it exposes the gap. Might not work on a Yota, but that area existed in my Mustang/Explorer/Impreza. Not very sneaky if everyone knows, but might stop a smash and grab if it's not within plain sight.?.
Should have a huge area right under the rear DS wheel well plastics as well.

Wait... what? You cannot properly secure the firearm in the car? How has that not gone to court?

Prob has 1,000+ times. Sometimes I think CA & NJ write gun laws just to keep their brotherhood employed (lawyers).
Seems like that happens in more and more places. They should have to foot the bill when they set in motion a law that is a clear violation of rights. When I worked at a nuclear plant you had to prove you had a locking and secure method to store your firearm in your vehicle if you wanted to store your personal weapon in your vehicle. A lot of the people out there used bolted down gun boxes.

That's Mr Asshole to you
So I waited to post this. Borrowed my dad's truck to haul some stuff to the deer lease. Ladder, chain saws, cattle panel and stuff like that. I drove it in some places I should not have and ripped off the front license plate holder, rear bumper corner, and bent the step.
A trip to the dealer for parts and a body shop to paint the bumper cover I got it back in order. Thankfully they are in China and have no idea I borrowed it or that anything happened. I learned that the entire rear bumper is pieces of plastic and is complete garbage. Also the predator steps are actually strong for steps.
