Where can I find them

Final torque should be applied with all four wheels on the ground to prevent pre-load on the control arm bushings. In the video he torqued it in the air..

@BORN2LOSE13 Good point... Our website has additional info that goes with each video... just follow the link in the description box to read more.

@ruebarb1 :-) but this is our Rear trailing arm video... We know the video you meant and still glad for the comment!

I ordered a set from All Pro last week. This is going to be my first mod, along with installing some ricochet skids. Great video, it answered all my questions!

[lastgreatroadtrip]

@TheMadRaver Glad it helped. Check out our web site for other helpful how to and 4x4 adventure stuff. Thanks again.

@lastgreatroadtrip Question. I just installed the All-Pro pro links and link skids. When I tried to torque the front bolts I just kept tightening and tightening to the point I thought I was going to break something. I got up to about 75-80 ft. lbs and quit. Then I noticed that the link skid and factory mount appeared to actually be crushing. The rear bolt torqued to 97 ft. lbs with no problem. Have you ever seen this happen?

[lastgreatroadtrip]

@TheMadRaver ouch... no i've not heard of that before... give the guys at All-Pro a call... they are good and should be able to help you out.

dumb fuck that is not a lower control arm fucking idiots.

[lastgreatroadtrip]

@HunterCO1 Clearly you're too smart for this channel. Thanks for watching :-)

[bob87sheets]

Paul would the better geometry also give you better articulation?

[lastgreatroadtrip]

good question... Since there are so many factors (rear suspension setup, tire size,...) that go into it i suggest giving Metal Tech a call.

[janitor300]

great info, i have a question.. you said "not the strongest in the world" can we say it means toyota didn't built this part properly?

[lastgreatroadtrip]

Not at all... Toyota built the LCA for street and average off road conditions just not to carry the weight of the rig when you start dragging it over large rocks on the more extreme trails.

Thanks for the vid! This will be my next FJ project.

[lastgreatroadtrip]

you bet... Hope it helps... I'm sure you'll do a great job.

[antisvt]

Nice dude! now its time to test em out!

[lastgreatroadtrip]

Thanks... so far I have dragged them across anything but I've been out a couple of times.
