    I've been very happy with my fenix lights. For a cheap truck light I use a rayovac indestructible light, very bright and tuff. I hate those lights that you have to go through three settings to turn off.

    Entire drum assembly shouldnt have play when wheel is on unless theres play in the wheel bearing. Doesnt look like hes giving it much force in the video either.

    Hmmm, thinking about getting the allpro uca's but I see some people use the light racing uca's with extended coil overs. Is there much of a difference between them other than ones uni-ball and the other is ball joint

    There is typically a small amount of free play in the bearing assembly in the rear. About .005-.007" or so. this is enough where it COULD cause a shift in the brake shoe. Just was a suggestion to check.

    I was messing around with it again today (only got to replace one u bolt plate yesterday lol..) I located where the sound was coming from, the ebrake pulley on the back of the drum. I put my hand all around on everything and that was the only thing I could feel the clicking on. Ebrake was engaged at the time and the time before.

    the allpro's are the most i want to spend on uca's, after reading about the LR's the "sealed" balljoint seems like a better option for me. cause of winter months with all the sand and salt. unless the allpro's uni-ball can be covered/sealed or protected by those elements.

    i haven't found caps for the allpro uca's but i know theres caps for the icon uca's.

    i read that to but heard there customer support is top notch when they get a faulty part.

    Customer service is awesome and all but something like a UCA shouldn't require customer service because it failed. I know they have worked out most of the kinks they had but I personally saw a LR rip apart so I will never run them on my rig. I have All Pros and like them a lot although I don't live in winter conditions.

    Just wanted to give my input, not trying to single you out. Customer service is definitely important and I'm sure 99% of people would be fine with LR.
