    Why not just replace the bushing?

    I just, after 9 days, received an email from RCI. They acknowledged the issues I experienced, apologized, and offered a partial refund against what I paid. My opinion of them is most positively increased. :thumbsup::fistbump:

    Truck has 115k with hard off roading, tie rods were original and toast. Made more sense IMO to have the security of a new rack and inner/outer rods going into my next 100k. Also, I didn’t feel like tackling the stress of swapping the bushings myself.

    How’s the fender flares holding up on the truck? I bought the same style, looks perfect for the truck, but the rears did not sit well and were warp. It didn’t mount on correctly. The front was perfect, fits great, but ended up taking them off. Where did you purchase your set from and what brand is that? Might consider giving it another try. Thanks.

    Mine have been good! Been on since 2021 I think. These were from a seller on ebay that no longer has them in stock (theres a thread on here somewhere where we tried to find them recently). If I remember, I had to tighten the bolts in different ways to try and get one of my rear ones to sit nice and flush against the truck. Sometimes tighenting one bolt too much would prevent it from pressing up tight but you could try another bolt to "pull" it in. I also swapped the rubber seals that came with them to a wider one that is more like the bushwackers come with so that may have helped hide any imperfections in the fit

    They are Roxx led projectors. Waiting to see how bright they are at night. Seemed bright enough during the day.

    So after driving to work early this morning, I can say I don't believe the Roxx headlights are any brighter than the stock ones. They have a better range sure, but not any brighter. I'll probably upgrade the bulbs at some point. Still happy with them though. The reverse light on the PZ tail lights is much brighter than stock. Of course being LEd helps a lot.

    Check the build link in my signature.
    Flipped the mounting bracket on the roof light bar (lowered it in line with the wind fairing better).

    Installed the TRD CAI kit

    Fiddled with the wiring on the light bar and think I found my problem (installer error).

    Finally took advantage of a slow-ish day at the station and installed a replacement Pop & Lock that was living on my workbench; the original quit working a while back. Pretty straight forward with plug-n-play.

    Installed TRD Pro fog lights (Rigid OEM LED ones) on my 19 SR5.

    Why did no one warn me that changing out the fog light bezels when you have BumperShellz on is almost impossible? What a huge PITA it was.
