Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I wasn't happy with that setup with that bumper, too spongy. Changed to 886/91000 OME. That netted me 4.5". Why I know about problems with getting caster numbers with using preset caster arms. SPC BJ just kept getting to much slop at 20k for me when I used them on extreme trails.

 

1. Glad to see you're back, Leonard! It's been a minute.

2. No complaints with my SPCs yet, but I was looking to order up a spare ball joint last week, and they were not cheap. Over $100 each, IIRC.

 

Thanks Chris. Work and my schedule was making things difficult to be getting out and about with this crowd. Was mainly a lerking, figured I could give some input from my experiences on above. Been off work for 6 months, thinking if I wanna put myself in retirement.

 

Hope we can get sawmill trip this year with you late spring, this snow is going to stick around. I hear no way we you can break thru right now

 

I’ll take them out and take a closer look. I was excited to get started and didn’t even bother looking.

 

Thanks for sharing each of your personal experiences with UCA’s. I’ve seen photos of your guys’s trips and rigs, really put things into perspective.

I haven’t been active lately as well, no weekends off with a grave schedule takes away trail time with TW folks.

 

someone said shenanagins?










dates TBD

 

Man I love trying to be one of the first ones back into sawmill, I think tried 3 times last year before I was successful

 

You don't need to pull them. Just take a photo and post it here.

 

I’ve seen the same thing where the lift is doubled because the perch is filled upside down. On a different note - got my squeal issue solved. Ended up needing a new drive belt as the old one was stretched out. Think it hasn’t been changed since the last (last) timing belt change. Got my new radio installed too….and sliders come tomorrow!

 

That looks so superior to the stock head unit. I need to upgrade the wife's 2009. What unit did you end up going with?

 

just something cheap and simple!

Nice. I was looking at a JVC just because it has wireless Android auto. But it's also twice the price. After you've got a week with it, if you don't mind, give me your thoughts.

Wireless Android auto isn't a necessity and I am a cheap bastard. lol

 

will do! I’ve been seeing this all over the 1st Gen sequoia forums and those guys love it. I didn’t upgrade the speakers but I have the upgraded factory speakers and it still sounds great.

so far just messing around with it, it’s a LITTLE slow when sifting through a lot of the menus on the radio itself but I haven’t had any issues with CarPlay with the testing from today.

 

The 885s on @techfinsoup 5100s are the ones I got from you

 

Thanks again! saved me $500, going rate for the set right now. They ride great! rig feels like new out of the dealership.

 

Take a look at @AccuTune Offroad 's UCA's. I don't have any first hand experience, but they really seem to have done their homework on them and took the best part of the SPC's but made it much more user friendly (I have SPC's FWIW).

 

Thank you!

 

Possible there setup correctly. Those coils are designed for v6 added weight or v8 no weight. On 03-09 4runner. My bumper n winch are 250lbs. plus skids.
