    Anybody know if you need an alignment if you just do a UCA swap?

    For sure, they haven't been adjusted properly. You'll want to get an alignment

    Most definitely, the uca’s are made to change alignment specs so you're going to need to make sure everything else is good to go

    Edit: I second the question about the spindles, who makes em?

    Based on the size of the spacer I am going to assume the spindles are designed to work with the drop bracket lift. So either RCD or what if the other manufactures of that style of lift.

    Lost my drip molding in the car wash the other day, placed order with gunny at camelback toyota and got it replaced yesterday, celebrated Xmas early with my family and got matching rear seat covers.

    Friday. Installed a Jensen VX7024 Nav./car play head unit, as I could use my factory XM receiver/antenna dug though my Gen. 1 stuff and found Sirius receiver and Mag mount Antenna so install that also. Didn't like the Idea of putting antenna on roof and running cable, so I dug in box some more and found another antenna this grey square matching dash. Cleaned dash with Alcohol to remove silicone and small piece of double sided tape and ran cable along base of windshield. Looks good and work fine. will get with engineer and my former place of employment(retired) and see what we can do to use factory XM receiver and Antenna. We worked together designing, building and modified wiring and cable to install emergency equipment in CHP vehicles just have to get the Jensen to work with Tacoma wiring one I have the diagram I can do it. Did it for 25 years on every from Kenworths to Camry's once I have the diagram is to get terminals and connectors and build my harness, much like Crutchfield does. Why I got the Nav. system when I have Car Play is beyond me. Did do due diligence LOL. Like the radio and all the bells and whistles. Even work with the steering wheel control add the right side switches for the phone and voice all work good. After that replace tail light assembly in Wife's Mini and chased and vacuum leak in Venza. Project now is to figure out of to move back up camera image from mirror to new head unit. Ordered USB/HDMI outlet for under HAVAC controls. Service due soon on all the cars.

    I had a pair of those in one of my previous vehicles. Is the light output still pretty weak?

    Got my sliders from @Shmellmopwho ... Super stoked with them. Awesome looking sliders, and definitely a great experience from initial message to the entire install. Can't wait to abuse them. Thanks again!
