Upgraded my FJ80 rear lower control arms

So those with an 80-series here know how easily you can bend up your stock rear lower control arms wheelin'. I bent one of mine on the trail awhile back. Been meaning to upgrade them to beefier units for awhile now. So today I dropped by Simon's shop (aka "theexile" here on expo) and picked up some beefier RLCAs. The new RLCAs from Simon are definitely a lot beefier and should stay straight! I'll let Simon chime in on the tubing size of the RLCAs since I forgot. And as usual Simon was great to deal with, installed the arms for me and the pricing was great. My sliders are from him and hopefully a rear bumper in the near future!
