Holy crap man....I called to 5 different dealerships in Dallas to get their price on the LCAs. MSRP is $453.24, I got quoted a min of $420 all the way up to SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS. Wow. I thought at least one of them would have it in the 300's and make it worth not paying for shipping.

Part	Part #	Price (Olath Toyota)
Lower Control Arm Right	48068-60030	303.85

My favorite dealer to order from (Serra Toyota in AL) has $256 (seen at checkout) with free shipping during the Black Friday sale FWIW

Yeah, Olathe Toyota always seems to have the best prices I’ve found. Often by A LOT

Wow, you just saved me $300 dollars! Would almost cover a flight to Charlotte to buy you a beer. I owe you one! Thank you so much.

Have you changed the front KDSS arm? I would like to get ahold of one to modify.

No, at $800+ I’m gonna let my ocd suffer a little and leave it as is.

Dang pricey part. Must be a serious chunk of steel.

Well, finally got the roof rack removed, and LOVE the cleaner, slick top look. I went the easy route and just bought the OEM kit.

Looks great. Roof rack delete was one of my favorite mods on my truck. So simple, so cheap, yet SO effective.

Did yall put any kind of sealer in the holes?

I have a hankering to cut one up for the science of it. More 37s on an LC!

No sir.

No, the rubber gasket seems to fit perfect and close the gap

Gotcha.

I’ll likely eventually replace it because knowing it’s the one damn bushing I haven’t replaced will drive me bonkers

Will keep ya in mind for sure

Sounds like diminishing returns with as pricey as that piece is.
