What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah, I was literally called a "sick f***" on here when I posted pics of all the mounts. I'll just stick the dedicated hunting forums for posting hunting related media. I don't need some shite bag trolling me for our conflicting ideals.

 

I’d go with Total Chaos UCAs or Camburg. The JBAs have ball joints, same as the factory setup. TC or Camburg have uniball construction which will last a lot longer and can still be run without failure even when worn out…try that with a ball joint. Just sayin.

 

Agree, but a zerk fitting and not having to unbolt the uca for maintenance would be ideal for OP's application. TC bushings are known to squeak, but JBA bushings will fit them.

 

You got part of a metal bumper… but it looks good. The big plus is two recovery points for shackles and you can add a winch.

 

Maybe he's got one of these in his garage like I do for full send shits!


My little teapot Tacoma is restricted to mall-flex duty only!

 

Agree, a little PB blaster gets rid of the squeak. But for the OPs application it probably works fine.

 

Your Taco is way too shiny, almost looks like you applied some dressing to the treads ….just threw up in my mouth a little…

Truck looks awesome seriously

 

HAHAHAHAHA for sure! Thanks

 

Is it just an optical illusion or are your fog lights aimed at the sky?

 

Yep, good eye, pointed up a bit. Literally lights up the entire deepest darkest forests up here in western WA.

 

You sound like you can educate me on uniball style UCA. I have the camburg billet, and they are starting to squeak.
To grease them, do you have to pull them off completely ,or just pull the long bolt slightly off and drope in some lube/grease. And how About the middle, where it's capped?
I called camburg and they said something about tying something with fishing line before capping it to not let air in.
Thanks for reading

 

Interesting. I’m torn between Camburg and Total Chaos. I definitely want something with uniball construction.

I know that PB Blaster works well for the leaf spring squeak. I usually apply between the leaves and in the bushings and it lasts for quite a while.

 

Negative on grease for heims and uniballs. Dry ptfe lubricant only. CRC makes some (get it on Amazon) and Camburg advertises this one on their website.

Take the cap off, spray ptfe, replace cap. Up to you if you want to pull the uca bolt to spray the heim joints. I'd try the lazy approach first and spray them without removing the uca bolts. If they still squeak pull the bolt. A little noise is normal.

No clue on what they were talking about with the fishing line. The o ring on the cap for the uniball should seal out a bunch of debris from getting inside.

edit: Maybe they meant Finish Line PTFE.

 

Meso vent rings and a wash

 

Oncoming drivers really have not earned the privilege of "sight" anyway.

 

Lol.. That's funny if so.. He did mention a couple PTFE products, and for sure something about not letting AIR in when you recap it..I love fishing though so that's where my mind went.

 

I'm buy no means a expert on the two. I went with camburg because I'm local in South Orange county, I see their UCA on trucks all the time, and they seem to have a great reputation. Their team and videos are pretty cool too.

 

They're pulling your leg on the air thing.

 

Also completed the MESO vent rings, climate dials, 4wd dial, and starter button. Relocated the VSC switch to the overhead console to make room for the anytime switch to the lower left. The rain came so I left the lower drivers panel on the floorboards for tomorrow.
