    Because they moved the cams back in.
    Remember you want the rear cams all the way outwards. The front cams all the way inwards. Then they need to stop chasing stock numbers and green screens for the alignment.
    From there barely touch the cams for camber and set toe.

    Because the UCA is not adjustable, they only have the lower cams to make their adjustments. Switch to SPC UCA and it will be super easy to dial it in. I use them as well and worked with technician through the whole process and my alignment is perfect and no rubbing with 35x10.5’s. With the adjustable upper ball joint, you set the lowers all the way forward, set camber and caster at the upper ball joint and fine tune at the LCA cams if needed to get the truck to track straight. Just need that adjustment at the top make the magic happen.

    It either aligns with the lower cam bolts or it doesn’t. Only other variables are the parts and the frame. Adding UCA adjustment fixes his problem.

    Agreed. I’ve never seen a Tacoma or 4runner not be able to get at least 3.3° of castor with an aftermarket uca. Heck the wife got 3.5° out of stock ones

    I’ve been using them for nearly 20 years and they have always dialed my vehicles in or didn’t charge me if they couldn’t. But, yeah, try a different shop and see what they can do with just the lower cam bolts. I’d be curious to know.

    Ordered a Amazon brand Dutch oven. Seen mixed reviews but for $30 figured I’d try it out. Was considering buying a vitamix but my ninja blender still works pretty well. Rest of prime day “deals” are mostly junk

    Anyone driven the steep section of Cinder Hills OHV? What would be best for the steep climb 4H or 4L?

    Its called $100 hill. And no Tacoma is making it up the face of that one. Can get up the back side of it though.

    @Southwest_Taco_Jonez ive been all over the cinders in my truck and there’s a lot of factors that come into play out there. If your suspension can handle it then 4hi and speed is always your friend. I honestly cruise around out there 99% of the time in 2wd with the rear locked.

    Steeper climbs though 4Lo is usually better and as much momentum as you can carry. The steeper hills out there tend to have pretty soft spots in them making it difficult to climb even in my truck sometimes.

    And like @Sixthelement said, cinders is still closed after the fires and my insider information with fire dept says it may stay closed for a little while longer unless we really start seeing some rain and not flooding

    Yea, money hill- just saw it was closed. I'm moving back to PHX and wanted to check it out, seems like a cool place. Question still stands, curious from those who have conquered.
