General rule of thumb I have used is: adjustable uppers for setting pinion angle (driveshaft) and lowers for caster. IMO, with the stock driveshaft, I would do just lowers.

Metalcloak, Rock Krawler, JKS, Teraflex, Clayton, Rancho, and Synergy are all good brands that make adjustable lowers. You will need to free the brake line from the bracket on the control arm for pretty much all of them I believe.

If you score the top clamp with a cutoff wheel, you can pry it open pretty easy. Just be careful not to catch the brake line. Here's mine from when I installed my (fixed) JKS lowers:

I do like the JKS arms I'm running on my JL for the fact that they're 2" OD, .250" wall DOM (they are not the adjustable arms though, so do be aware of that). Super duper beefy and thick, not sure there's anyone else doing .250" wall DOM. Just note, with most aftermarket lowers you may have to grind a clearance notch in the top of the LCA axle bracket (just to the left of the brake line clamp in the pic above) to avoid the bracket hitting the bigger arm during full droop.
I cringe at the thought of using anything that creates sparks while on a moving blanket. Them things ignite easily and are a bitch to put out- they keep relighting on their own. Learned that after almost setting a boat ablaze.

Ford really fuct up on the winch situation on the new Broncos, tho. That's almost unforgiveable.
I haven't been paying much attention to the new Broncs. Hard to believe Ford fucked up (again), but how'd they screw up on winches?

For sure. Like the post about the manual being offered in the 2024 Tacoma and a link to the Tacoma forum that looks just like this forum.

Like I said: I get it. Gotta make money and we pay nothing to use this site. It’s just a shame from user standpoint.
Do they have a Tacoma Humor Waiting Room (no politics)?

I was able to polish out the light scratches from trail bushes, but not the gouge from my hardtop on the tailgate. Was worried I'd have to shave down to base coat to do it. Might be a lost cause.

I did fix the dent above the fuel fill and the whole Jeep was polished shinny.

"Sir," said the attorney for the plaintiff to a prospective juror, "can you promise me that if you serve on the jury of this case that you will not seek to create a hung jury?"

Prospective juror: "All I can guarantee you sir is that if I sit on this jury that I will help it be a well hung jury."
