THANKS GUYS !!! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I have used them as a winch before. Prevented some serious cosmetic issues when I was stuck and the only movement I could obtain was crab walking sideways further into a tree trunk. Then as a winch again when maneuvering down a muddy slope peppered with trees. Mud was so slick I could either maintain just enough friction to stay stationary if I did a brake stand or slide forward with no steering response from my mud caked tires. Jack was used to pull front end tow hooks left/right to avoid trees as I foot by foot slid down the hill until it leveled out

I bought a complete set from TRQ. They are made in Taiwan. All 4 control arms with new bushing for like $130. So far they have held up great.

I haven't worked on a 3.3. I did a number of things on my 3.5. It's pretty tight. A bunch of things were no fun to do, like alternator replacements. But I'd rather work on it any day than my 2006 MDX. I drove a 3.3 once. I'd never buy a 3.3 after driving a 3.5. I got 265k miles out of it. I was hoping for 300k, but still darn good. Early VQ engines had some minor oil flow issues, especially regarding the lifters and valve cover baffling. The automatics had the power valve screw issue. Other than that, it's a great engine.

You put it on (it does not attach to the warn hub face well, I have to take off the cap but no big deal) and then you do a roughly 20 degree sweep. It comes with detailed instructions on how to use it. I honestly set it for almost 1 deg positive camber and as much caster as I could get out of it while keeping it even on both sides. Shops are lazy. They did not even try to adjust the camber/caster and said the adjuster bolts were seized. Not sure how that could be when I just replaced the UCA bushings.

Got some new wheels and tires, only had to cut a little metal ?
