    Better pic of it. Yup...They still sell it.
    I did end up going with a factor 55 thimble and got rid of the hook.

    Naw. This was just a pick to see if I can get them both to fit so my truck wouldnt have to sit outside for the winter.
    I drive the car 90% of the time and I have plenty of room for the drivers door to open.
    However.....I have an are camper shell that I purchased like a week before the softopper group buy (just my luck). and its sitting tore apart
    on stands where the truck is......and the trucks back outside.

    I feel kinda bad for it because it spent all its winters indoors. Now that I have the scat pack, the truck has to sit outside.

    does your highlift make a big shadow being in front of the headlight?

    Where did you purchase the PCV Valve & Grommet from? Do you have the 3.4 in your truck? I'm about to purchase the same but don't want to go to the stealership!!

    Well, mine is so-so. Virgina/Alaska/Utah truck. I pulled the bed and knocked off the loose scale then hit it with rust converter, rust converter paint, then topped with rust preventative underbody coating.

    We will see. My truck is so clean and solid.... It would be such a waste and tough to find a comparable replacement.

    Not much. I bought some new headlights so they are alot brighter than my old foggy ones. I have the jack foot set at about optimum but there is just a slight shadow.

    So OEM isn't important in this application? I don't have a carquest anywhere near me. There's Napa, O'reilly's and Auto Zone. What brand is a good one to get besides OEM?

    I was trying to go the Amazon way since I have an Amazon $50 Gift card. I put in my truck info on Amazon and it says this Toyota Part# 12204-62010 doesn't fit my truck. But I googled the Part # and it says it's for the 3.4V6 but also says it's only good up till 2003. Let me know if this is the correct Part # for the PCV Valve you guys got. Then I'll just grab a grommet off of Amazon too. Thanks.

    Ok . Follow up :

    Cambridge vs. total chaos uca?

    I feel more people use the total chaos .

    Are they worth upgrading if you aren't wheeling and are doing a 2" OME kit ?

    2" ome lift. Meh. stick to the oem uca. Trucks still perfectly alignable at 2" and it will work without binding through full range of suspension travel.

    Now if you were at 2.5-3" lift where driveability is affected and possible tire wear it would be a good investment.
