Mine are going strong......


C,

Thanks for the feedback!

Just to note!!!!!!!!!! I never had an issue with my old versions at all. It was just very laborious to make them. I try to make all my products with the least amount of welds and parts as I can. The more pieces there are; the more chances for failure points. I prefer the new 1:3 ratio....

I assumed it was so, thanks for making the product better.
 
My ML speakers in the front were both blown, sounds like elephants farting, replaced it with some Kicker 6.5" and man i gotta say, it sounds awesome. The rear sub is still blown but i'll get to that another day, so far these replacement speakers are very good. They are 4ohm and seems to work fine with the ML amp. You'll need to bust out the soldering iron and drill bits, takes a little creative thinking to get them to mount onto the stock housing.

The trim wrap looks great…as do those wheels! What are they off of?

Thanks :) Wheels are off a 2016 200 series. Needed spacers to clear the hubs with these specific rims (not just for the caps)
 
Swapping out all sway bar end links and bushings on our 129K ‘03. They’re not too bad but I enjoy some light wrenching after the office in the evenings. Save the hard wrenching for weekends. Ha.

Where did you get these from?

Local dealer for most of my parts. These came from Autozone because they had them and I didn’t feel like waiting. Ha.

Autozone had OEM parts? Or are they a aftermarket brand

Aftermarket. Went with OEM for all other sway bushings and end links. These were the only parts AutoZone had (front end links).
 
New lower ball joints yesterday. What a difference!! The last Moog ball joints only lasted 3 years. Don't buy cheap lower ball joints!! That was the only non Toyota part on my vehicle, and it crapped out quickly. I didn't know about the 555 ball joints back then. Just bought the 555's from Cruiser Outfitters.

I just did my sway bar bushings from Autozone about 6 months ago. I saved my receipt and my old links and bushings. I will just keep returning them everytime they go out since they offer a lifetime warrantte. Right now they are about half way trashed. Seems like they only last about a year. Was thinking about trying Toyota bushings and see if they last longer.
 
I went Toyota for the rest. I’ll keep a comparison going.

Also buying them from Kurt you know they are 100% genuine 555. Not bits and pieces jumbled together from other "assemblers".
