total chaos, I like the lubeable urethane bushings on one end and heim joints on the other end for adjustability and articulation.

Also look at Sonoran Steel's rear links, they look like a sturdy built setup.

Anyone have the Sonoran steel ones?  They seem like a decent price. Like the digger links they use the own bushings so they should be nice and quiet.

Try contacting the guys on Parksoffroad.com, they have a review of a setup on a Ti FJ Cruiser. I don't have any yet but they looked priced right like you said and sounds like they like them.

Back to this discussion as I still have not made a decision.  Anyone have the toyoutfitters rear links or know of anyone that does.

 

Folks on the blue room seem to like them but curious to get other opinions.

I have MAF and they are beefy but not lubeable..squeak over every bump.

I was just about to ask the same question, you beat me to it Lance.......  I talked to Mark at Metal Tech who used to make them, and he said maybe in the future he might start making them again once their Long Travel kit comes out. Heres what I have found so far:

 

ToyOutfitters = $265

sonoransteel = $310

Man-A-Fre = $325

Total Chaos = $655

Icon = $695

Allpro are in the 265 range too.  Summary of what I have found out about them are as follows

allpro=mixed reviews mainly quality control issues, not adjustable, OEMish bushings so no noise

toyoutfitters=everyone loves them, not adjustable, greasable can squeak some if you do not keep them lubed

sonoransteel=everyone loves them, not adjustable, uses OEM bushings so no noise

manafre=mixed reviews mainly on noise, not greasable, lowers not adjustable, noisy

total chaos=mainly good reviews, greasable, adjustable, gusseted, can be noisy.

Hey Lance, thanks for posting this up...my rear links have taken a beating and one of them is noticeably bent.  Definately an investment I want to make in the near future.  Let us know what you decide to go with!
