@Wulf my truck is making a new noise everyday it seems like. Whining, chirping, moaning, you name it. Is this how your SR5 is?

 

"The spot"

 

Have you tried looking for the noises?

 

He's still looking for where the old u bolts are installed

 

yes, and it only gets worse with time

Turn the stereo up and keep on cruising

 

No, I’ve tried listening for them tho.

 

Honestly it didn’t look like much, but the truck really doesn’t seem to like that spot for some reason. I always seem to take the wrong line at first also.

 

You need solidworks?...I have solidworks and fusion 360 but I don't even use sw

 

+1 for Tinkercad. I started using it a few years ago, and then moved on to Fusion. That's a great path to take. Autodesk owns both too, now.

 

Yeaaaaaa

 

I know two of them are the PS pump and TOB, and I think the leaf springs are chirping. I’m pretty sure the clicking is the UCA hitting the coil spring.

 

You know, it's more the person and less the truck.

You can make an easy obstacle much more difficult if you take it the wrong way.

 

Did you ever actually look and see if the UCA was hitting the coil?

cause I doubt it

 

@Kwikvette this is approaching the spot where it had trouble. When I hit it head on, the wheels on the left slots traction and spun. If I hugged the right one the rock it had no trouble. It looks like nothing, especially on camera, but the trail was wet that day and it’s steeper than it looks.

 

I saw the surface rust spots on the coil where the UCA may have been hitting. I’ve read it can be an issue with a 3” lift and stock UCAs.

 

Wet leaves can do that

Having hugged the left a little (to get your wheel on the left side of the leaves) would've had your truck more level and had traction on both sides

Same with hugging the right like you did

 

Your poor cv axles

 

driver tire on blue line or pass tire on green line

keep it out of the wet. Hugging right seems like a much better choice to keep the body out of that tree if you rollback lol

 

Need is a strong word. For the few models I have in my mind fusion aught to do the trick

 

With a rear locker it probably wouldn’t have mattered.
