    wait.... does this mean I could sell you my truck for $25K and you would think you were getting a deal? :D DONE! :p

    There are two models of light racing UCA for the Tacoma that I saw...I assume I can get away with the lighter version, the 25470?

    I would do this if I could go back 3 yrs ago.

    Edit: I don't do much "wheeling", but I see a lot of washed out farm roads and hunting trails, especially before I moved to SC. Unless I go ~2mph on uneven terrain, I experience the OME clunk on a regular basis (this includes speedbumps and potholes). OME Nitrochargers up front.

    My sway bar would contact my coils from time to time, so it went to the scrap yard - totally different noise from the "clunk". Light racing UCAs installed with the lift 3 or 4 yrs ago. Still clunkin'.

    ohhh, I hate clunks. anyone else want to chime in on the front OME vs Bilsteins? Whats causing it? Just the fact the shock cannot distend fully?

    I've read up on this topic a good bit. There are several threads with good info. From what I gathered, the OME nitros will perform better with added weight up front, like an aftermarket bumper.

    He bought almost everything (lift, bumpers, rack, RTT, etc) and shipped it to people in the states. Then drove down to the Rock Therapy event in Moab and the people he shipped to also came. Installed it all in camp and went wheeling like a boss after saving a bunch on shipping and taxes. :D

    I do know that gets done a lot...usually with tires around here. :D
    I do plan on having an ARB bull bar and a winch mounted, although the winch will run synthetic line, the overall weight will be close to mother in law sitting on my hood....
