    Color me interested too. Would be nice to get a uniball in there and stretch a little extra travel out of the front end. Would prefer to keep stock steering if possible.

    I do not want to go with fiberglass, i bought my little taco because it was little. If i wanted full blown long travel i would have just bought another Bronco. TTB ftw.

    Wouldn't mind waiting for Camburg to come up with something, i like it when parts match, and i have their UCA's.

    Im in the same boat with money, just spent my fun money with Baja Designs, Solo Motorsports, and King. Gonna be a nice week for me :)

    Highly doubt the Camburg one will be Uniball. But Trac has said they would look at something. Just be a while i think.

    I won't hold my breath on the uniball. Especially if the LBJ is not a limiting factor in the suspension travel.

    Yea. And we have two that would make them now for the money without a uniball. Dirt King and MCM.

    From what I've seen - Trac has been pumping out some good stuff. I'll look forward to their offering, even if it takes some time. I'd much rather buy from a shop that's actually enthusiastic about the product, and pushing the envelope (uniball / stock steering / strike pad / etc). If it's just a beefed up stock bolt on that's going to lose me clearance, then I'd rather just plate mine and save my pennies for hookers and blow.

    EDIT: In regards to the noise above - I still don't think ES bushings are hard to install in stock arms. They have worked great for me for the 20K+ miles I've had them installed.

    By wyoming standards, maybe. It's something around a 4hr drive through the worst part of the state.

    You have my number. I've got plans. Lots of plans for the coming months. It's not hard to convince me to go on a trip or generally to get the time off.

    I think dirt king is still up for it. I believe most are interested in taps unibal ones and no idea when that'll happen. Haven't hears from then in a while.

    Keep us posted. Just to reiterate, the thing I'm most interested in is a setup that has a fail safe in case the ball joints fail.

    Oh that's cute. Clearly this is my first rodeo. But please...endulge me of how a uniball is a fail-safe for a balljoint.

    Survey says you have no idea what you are talking about let alone the definition of fail-safe.
