    I wheeled the piss out of my taco
    Replaced bushings every fing year
    Lr changed their bushings design i think 5 times to date
    Their bjs are crap
    I drive 40k a year and needed to replace then every 36k
    Numerous reports of the welds cracking and the arms separating under normal use
    Their pos arms cost me a set of tires due to cupping caused by bad bushings time and time again
    Do yourselfs a favor and spend an extra 100 on some quality arms

    To each their own :) The majority of the reason I got them was to have visible turn signals.

    I never really liked tube/hybrid bumpers, but I appreciate the look and craftsmanship that goes into making them look good!

    I got them more for DRL's and turn signals than for aesthetics

    usually when people have pride about what they own, they take care of it.

    If only I hadn't settled in with my shiny Fox's

    If only I wasn't so short, I'd wash the 4Runner more often

    Shame Icon customer service is such ass (unless you walk into their store or talk to Icon_rep on TW)

    They squeak now? My rear 2.0's squeak quite a bit but are only audible when the car is off (at least I hope its the shocks and not a herd of mice underneath)

    haha they squeak a little but i think its because i adjusted them from where you had so the body/shaft are at a different position. I shot some white lithium on the shaft and jumped up and down and it goes away. Definitely minimal but my cars silent so i hear anything. You know how that goes.

    My rear suspension squeaks too but that's because I folded down the tabs for the rear lower control arms, so they touch

    I really need skids for those haha
