Opinions on these? Sorry for the newb questions. Still trying to learn the ins and outs of the truck scene. Can't tell what's a good and quality brand versus something that isn't.

 

They're a solid choice for UCA. Shipping might kill it, be much better off going through headstrong unless he cuts you a good deal - http://www.headstrongoffroad.com/store/p61/SPC_(Light_Racing)_Ball_Joint_Upper_Control_Arms_-_25470.html

Ball joint type UCAs work very well, but there's also uniball which are a bit stronger if you really plan to hammer down on your truck.
Total Chaos UCAs for comparison

What did the software update for the head unit do?

 

What is the Trail Map program that a lot of you are using now? Something hat could go on an IPad to plan routes?

 

Not sure yet. I had a problem where my head unit would reset intermittently (has reset a couple of times in the past month). They checked and said there was a software update. Hopefully it will resolve my resetting issue.

 

California Trail Maps
Gaia
aaaand there's another popular one I can't think of at the moment.

 

LeadNav for iOS on the ipad which you can use with Cali Trail Maps

 

Not sure if there's a thread yet but -

 

There is.

 

Anyone have experience or have the program and want to have a little tutorial with? I'm interested but have no idea where to start.

 

Shane... I'm with you. I have the app but have not had the time to get fully functional with it. Greg @goblue82 used it on our Idyllwild trip this spring and it looked pretty dope. It would be great if we could get Greg or someone else who is well versed in the functionality to give us a demo/tutorial.

 

Found it!

Great deal for someone in need of skids.

 

Not sure he is on the Forum, his name is Angel, really nice guy. Did a bunch of stuff on his truck over the last couple years..

Came out PERFECT, we can dial in the final height once we get the armor on and the springs settle to get it level if it needs any adjustment. Ill DL some pics from my phone to throw up here in a bit! Truck came out awesome!

 

I've installed probably 15 sets of those, no complaints and have some good adjustability as well due to the multiple ball joint mounting options, yes a uniball is stronger but this is completely sealed which is a nice feature as well. They seem pretty beefy and well built.
As said before Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road also has great prices and amazing customer service so you may want to check into that if those are the arms you are going with, as well as leaf springs, and other suspension components.

 

Which app do you have?

 

I have LeadNav.

 

Do you have California Trail map to use with it or just Lead Nav?

 

I bought the lifetime subscription to California Trail Map. Now just need to learn how to best use them together.

 

Im thinking of getting those programs also. Do you plan to use it with an iPad or something smaller like a phone? I don't wanna buy an iPad

 

I just got an iPad so I can put leadnav on it. Been using my android for the last few years.

California trail maps is just an offline map with trails on it.
