    I already drags over stuff :D

    As for the regear, if you look at the pictures of the blown diff from March in the OP...yeah...I'm done trusting Toyota gears.

    I didn't even ask. Between the oversized tires, all the clearcoat scratches, and the fact that we had already trail-swapped another diff in (non-factory gasket) I wouldn't have had a leg to stand on if they'd said no. Right or wrong, I didn't feel like fighting the dealer and they could've easily shut me down. So I basically ate it and bought the spare off the guy who had it.

    Gonna have the blown one rebuilt as a spare, and both the diffs in the truck now regeared the same. Should be goooooood to go at that point.

    It's funny because I broke an armrest in my driver doorpanel. Gonna take it in for that under warranty soon...can't wait to see their faces when they get a look at the rest of the truck.

    Couldn't hurt to ask. The service manager at the dealer I go to is awesome so I think I stand a good chance if it happens to me. Good thing to have a spare though.

    Done.

    No it couldn't. And I may do so when I take it in for the door panel...I'd even be willing to cut a deal....business is business that way...

    Hey John, Im looking for uca's and saw a few posts of yours on a thread about built right uca's and it looked like you were going to get them. I'm planning to do the same suspension setup that you have, and was wondering why you ended up with tc uca's instead?
    Any advice between the two?

    Item #1: I heard a lot, on here, about people having problems with Built Right UCAs coming with the wrong parts or missing parts, or fitment/machining of parts being off. I don't like that as a trend. One way to piss me off is to have poor quality control.

    Item #2: I bought this Icon package on sale for $2100, which basically made the TC UCAs cost the same as the Built Rights. And TC has a sterling reputation.

    I can tell you from experience, TC has a sterling reputation for a reason. Total quality product.

    Thanks for the info. I've also been looking as the package dsm has on sale- fox remote resi with dsm uca's. I haven't heard enough about either to have much opinion on them though. Do you have any advice?

    It's a fucking pest for that line. Wants to go right into your front skid, there's a big rock ledge on the driver side of it, guard rail to the passenger side of it. Basically, you wiggle and use the armor a bit like I did. Bout the only way to fit a 2gen through there.

    Looks like it's annoying to deal with. Yeah I saw it limits you to which line you can take.

    It's getting there. Needs gears, OBA, and I need to get my ass going on doing some of the wiring for these accessories.
