    Don, have you jacked the front end up by the LCA on the side that is clunking and shook the wheel for any movement visually? I could move my UCA at the bushing to recreate my clunk

    A lot of crap and too much money spent
    Damn, that’s what mine were doing before I replaced the bushings.

    Well, I guess I know what I'll be doing when I get home tomorrow. But shit, I might only have five or six hundred miles on these UCA's. Sumbitch. Could I have really screwed them up that quickly with too much grease?

    Welcome to the wonderful world of modding your tacoma. Even if the bushings are fine and the noise isn’t coming from the uca’s I’m pretty sure it won’t be long before you start having issues with the bushings bulging like that.

    Stick a small punch in the zerk, should release the pressure and send a money shot all over the wheel well.

    I'm way behind on this but recentl did the trail that leads up to the rubicon. Pretty easy and goes past 4-5 lakes. Really nice drive.

    I'm new to this area so that all I have to add.

    Off ice house road? I was just exploring up there on Sunday. Surely didn’t get all the way out to the rubicon but spent 4 hours driving around and letting the dog run. Had a great time. Thanks @jberry813 for the recommendation!

    I can't remember the name. All I know is it goes past a staging area for the rubicon (I did the rubicon many years ago). Don't remember the name though.

    Doubtful. 3.5” LT there. When I had MT and Fox’s with resis in the same location they pretty much rubbed the whole sticker off.
