    @HamHands I used 1/4" steel from HD that I cut, drilled and bent. Then Rhino lined them. Used the T bolts to attach to the bed rail system of the trucks. I used quickfists to attach the tools to the metal brackets i built. Took about an hour total time to build and the fit nicely on the side and do not extend pass the wheel well so full bed useable.

    Removed them, sanded the chrome, then sprayed the liner. The plastic parts have releases/tabs and come off easily.

    Dang, how do these get broken unless they did it when trying to loosen/adjust for alignment? Never thought about it until your post, but I'm taking a picture of mine before my next alignment!

    I never let the wife drive my trucks. I think her Prius has a giant magnet on the rear as she's been hit 3 times in 5 years!...but it is a Prius and the gas pedal feels like a sponge is connected to the throttle.

    Sorry for your troubles and hope a good body shop will make her like new again.

    Sure. My truck has power driver seat so it does have some height adjustment, etc. Problem is that is does not actually tilt back enough so there is not enough support under your legs. Raise and lower the seat and you can easily feel the seat kinds of tilts forward and as you adjust it you can feel the support of the seat leaving your legs. These little spacers raise the front of the seat about an inch and it really makes a huge difference in comfort. You are not perched on the seat, instead you sit back into it will full support of your legs. Amazing difference for 80 bucks.

    I mean this a tough one. They have to manipulate the bolts to align so if they break is it really the shops fault? I asked the question if it was already broken and they said when the tech went to adjust the cam bolt it was just spinning and they immediately brought me the broken part. Even if I could prove it happened when they adjusted the bolt - they have to for the alignment so it likely would have broken no matter who touched it. I certainly didn’t want to pay for it but not sure there is any way to avoid it in this case.

    Sure. Makes sense. When replacing my lower control arm bushings on my '98 Taco I had to cut one of mine out as it was frozen from years of rusting. No way it could have been moved for alignment, which made me very suspicious about my last alignment at my dealership. However, the final numbers did meet spec., so maybe that side didn't need adjusting. A couple hundred dollars does seem a bit steep to replace though. Best.

    well mine definitely needed adjusting lol. They showed me the numbers before they did anything after the UCA install. Just installing the JBA’s went from .20 total toe to like 1.85, from 2.4 caster to 3.9, and .2 camber to -.7. I expected the caster and camber to be different but the toe being out that far surprised me.

    but the numbers I asked for were .4/.5 toe, 3.5 caster, and -.1 camber.

    I know with the JBA's you want a caster in the mid-3's and keep the camber and toe to factory specs (at least that's what I recall). Are you sure your new toe numbers are OK? 1.85 sounds way high to me.

    The same shop did the last alignment back in August of 2020. When I drove the truck right after installing the arms I could tell right away that the toe was out. Not idea how it happened but before the UCA install truck drove perfect and the toe with the last alignment was .10 per side. Not sure how it got thrown out that far just from installing the arms but it did. Those alignment specs are what JBA recommends but factory specs don’t necessarily apply when you consider lift. Toyota specs for my truck on toe is anywhere from .2 to .55 - that’s pretty high.

    And yes they brought me the sheet before they did anything to it. I was shocked that it was that far out but like I said when I drove the truck right after install it was pulling all over the place with road “ruts” so given that the number makes sense.

    Something seems way off if you have to have 1.85 of toe to make everything OK, but I'm not an alignment expert so I'll stop asking questions. Best.

    I agree man that’s why I was surprised when I saw it. The toe I wouldn’t have thought would have been impacted at all just changing control arms but the road manners right after installing certainly indicate toe being way out.

    Installed the ME-SO ultimate dome and map lights today. I ended up being able to remove/install everything without pulling the assemblies out like their videos show. I just made sure to flip the light switch off before I started disconnecting anything electrical.

    How much are you lifted? My Taco is not too high at 2.5", but I was able to get the camber and toe back close to spec with the new JBAs. Might be worth a call to JBA?

    3” - the shop didn’t seem to concerned that they wouldn’t be able to get the t back in requested spec. Possible I misread and it was .85 but I did a double take when I saw it.

    0.85 is a little easier to swallow!

    I didn't, but it would be safer to disconnect. I accepted the risk.
