Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Don't be a polidict.

 

yah, see, I'm not going down that slippery slope.

I have enjoyed all the posts of people bitching about their uniballs though.

 

Can you tell I am no longer at lunch on my phone with a drippy slider in the other hand?

 

yeah mine are crazy loud right now. I dry lube them and they get quite until I abuse them properly and the squealing starts back up...

 

right now my bushings in the UCA are creaking like two balloons gettin down. Far more annoying that crying uniballs.

 

I do have to point out though that JBA has been making stuff for other truck brands for years with good success, and their offering for Tacomas is recent, and he has tweaked his initial design, specifically caster, based on use feedback of early adopters. JBA may not be well-known among Tacoma owners, but I think they are pretty reputable, the owner is very customer service oriented, and the arms have a lifetime warranty.

So between @Bentrodder and JBA, TC might as wll just shut off the lights now.

OMG did you guys hear? Relentless and Mobtown both have tailgate reinforcement plates! WW3! What will they think of next!?!?!?! Spindle gussets!?!?!?!

 

I thought we was talking about George buying new UCA's Not Dick. Scott, what ever your name is. You don't even go off road.LOL

 

I'm going with DK's since I got a good deal and they're all I'll need. No resi's and pizza cutters. Hoping for more down travel with them, and personally like the boxiness. With my LR's I measured 25" (hub to fender) at full droop. Ride height is 23", after last nights coilover cranking session. Still have my swaybar on though.

I've seen you beat the piss out of your LR's, which is reassuring, but sometimes I fix things that are not broken...

 

you have seen nothing.lol

 

East coast, west coast. Like Biggie and Tupac, they can coexist. Oh wait...

what I picture when George said he was taking his truck to work to flex it out.

 

I feel like you are going for a sponsorship. Need to start posting up instafam pics of all the guns in your bed on highway turnouts and you are set!

 

i actually lost height when i swapped to TCs from LRs because the ball joint placement on the arm. i had to crank down to be within proper uniball location for optimal optimalizm

 

DEFCONMINIVAN!

 

Dude, I just got this thing. Still needs suspension and the exhaust reroute so I don't high center on a planter at Costco.

 

Hope it's not the same for the DK's. The 14" 700# springs are compressed to about 12" DS and 12.5" PS at full droop. Not sure how much preload I can go with. The shock may also be topped out- forgot to measure that.

Maybe I'll just go with a drop bracket.

I don't think one guy in his garage is going to take out a well know name like TC. There huge on the race scene. Its not even funny. what is funny is that one day nor cal is blasting others for copying others shit and the next we bow down to the same thing just to save a buck. I'm so confused on the mentality on this site sometimes. I don't really give two shits either way and Im not directing this at you, just in general a thought of what I have seen and read on here lately. I don't think we should be promoting copying others stuff. But pushing him to make his own design would be a more appropriate statement. If you say something enough times people believe it. I'm not sure I would want to be know as someone who stole others designs. But that's just me.

 

So since we are still on UCAs. What is the best dry lube I can get for my balls?

I just have a cheap can. Wondering if Teflon, ceflon, graphite will be better?
