    Tc cam tab gussets are ok for what they are
    They will beef up the mounting horn if you will
    But just running a bead on factory tabs is all thats really needed

    Go to different shop
    All though its best to remove lca so you don't cook the bushing
    Or better yet find a friend with a welder and buy him some beer

    Yeah, I've seen where a lot of people put them in their 3rd gens but never a 4th. I figured I'd be the first to give it a shot.

    The bumper is a VPR (www.vpr4x4.com)... and no, I did not. I had my buddy install it at a shop here in Houston.

    Took mine to the stealership to have the transmission serviced. I bought it with 192k on the odometer so I figured I needed to get it done. At least if the dealer messes it up they are on the hook.

    $279 for the transmissions with the supposedly WS transmission fluid. They flushed the old fluid out then filled it with new. Not sure about the filter, I'll have to crawl under it today and see if they dropped the pan. I can say this, it seems to shift smoother and quieter now.

    Hmm, I was thinking about doing the service myself but fluid and filter alone is about $100, plus my time and effort to do it. I might just take it in and relieve myself of the liability and stress
