My impressions:

My next mod was Che's front member brace. It is an all aluminum reproduction of TRD's 300 doillar brace set. (Just the front section for now.)

Ther prices was right at 50 bucks shipped. Hopefully he does the rears soon.

Anyway, I love the powdercoating. You can't see it but it is a metallic finish. Very nice welds and powdercoating job.

This item looks great and really tightens up the front end where the rack and pinion is located. Eliminates squeaks and even feels tighter.

Installation is a breeze. A lift makes it easier, but not necessary.
