Replaced bent OEM. LCA's (pics)

I got my replacement LCA's from All-Pro today. I ordered them on Wednesday morning, got them today Monday(5 days counting the weakened). They are very impressive, much larger then OEM's. I cut the bent LCA in haft to see the wall thickness. It measured about 3/32" not quite an 1/8". It only took about 45min. to install them.
Removing the bent side first

comparing OEM's to All Pro

Looking at damage to OEM LCA


The pics Toyota doesn't want you to see. The wall thickness!!!


Not very thick for a LOW hanging suspension part for a 4200+ lb. 4x4. I feel pretty good about the All Pro's holding up to future trips and rocks.
OH YEAH!! I have one OEM. LCA for sale.

Wow, that LCA was jacked. Glad you got the new ones installed.

On a separate note, those LCA's are BEEF compared to stock Jeep LCA's. I'll take a stock Toyota LCA over Jeep anyday.

Now, how long is it going to take for you to test the strength of the All-Pro LCA?

Yeah, the weight difference between my AP links (the red ones, "Pro" series) and the OEM is amazing. The OEMs feel like they are made of cotton balls by comparison.
