Orange County CAF's: up to no good

Saturday, with my wife and kids just for the day. Any mild trails I can drive into? For their stomach sake. lol

 

Pretty fond of driving 3N10...

 

John Bull

 

marked as red meaning you need locker? also holcolm jeep trail?

 

Min. of 33" tires, rear locker and armor. Body Damage possible but unlikely to happen.

 

you can throw in Gold Mtn to...Dishpan, Holcomb, Gold and John Bull.

 

Yeah an early start is recommended for saturday. Like the others said, 3n16 and 3n14 are both nice, but if its snowing be careful. 3n16 is known for falling trees during storms. Last year my buddy and I did that trail to avoid 330 and had to go over 2 downed ones to get home. Was a little sketchy

 

Kind of a newb question perhaps, but is it normal for the suspension to be squeaking and stuff so much? I mean I’ve heard @Mike likes Tacos and it seems to be the same. No clunking noises or anything off other than the squeaking.

 

All that squeaking just lets you know that it has not fallen off.

 

Yeah forgot to mention it’s from the front. My leafs don’t really squeak

 

I just turn up the music for the squeaks in my UCAs to go away

 

Mike's squeaks on the driver side like mines. I already pulled them out and lubed them inside and outside....still squeaks.

 

Yeah I mean it doesn’t bother me, I’m just wondering if it was something to address or if it was “normal”. I have hit the uniballs with tri flow too

 

My total chaos UCAs are always acting up. I'm pretty sure it's because my alignment specs I use to clear my tires. I'm gonna swap em for these dirt kings. https://dirtkingfabrication.com/collections/05-15-tacoma/products/heim-upper-control-arms-dk-811903

 

A couple of songs from Guns & Roses makes me forget the squeaks

 

Ah ok well that answers my question then. Like I said, I wasn’t too concerned since everything else seems to working fine

 

If somebody wants to by my old full set up I'd be tempted to do that.

 

Do you lube the uniballs or only grease the zerks?

 

It's normal and unfortunate design flaw of the UCAs that has polyurethane bushings. I see the heim joints don't have the same issues but they have their own rattling sounds too due to the spherical bearings LOL
