    Anybody looking for a Yakima Load Warrior, with fairing and cargo net? Trying to unload one to help with down payment cash. Located in Windsor, work in Santa Rosa, can meet in area. If interested PM me and I'll send my cell. Pics are up in For Sale subforum, $250 cash.

    Not trying to spam, just trying to sell!

    I'm hoping! Trying to free up an extra grand between a full Yakima setup and my 6 week old DSLR.

    Kinda lame to sell the camera, but I'd much rather have a truck now and camera later than vice versa.

    Any locals interested, my cell is seven0seven 3two8 66five9

    Switching from Verizon to AT&T before the 20th of this month, so if my number changes - PM or email me. In any event, thanks guys, sorry for being the new guy that shows up and starts selling stuff. Figured someone would be interested in the Load Warrior, since I saw so many pictures of guys running them also.

    Hope ya'll are having a good evening.

    They will try and get you to give up the old number. You don't have to. You can transfer it to AT&T.

    Hmm. Yeah. Could be alignment. How much do you think it's rubbing? Would new UCAs really fix that?

    Yeah. They will help you quite a bit. Especially with the larger tires. You have a 6" db lift?

    Can you post up a picture of your alignment numbers?
    It'll be real easy to tell you what's going on with that.

    One other thing. If your tires are worn and recently rotated, you might also notice the same squirrely feeling.

    Normally the two things that cause a squirrelly feeling are caster and toe.

    First and foremost, there's 1* of difference in caster between dirver and passenger side. Alignment shops will normally add slightly more negative camber and/or slightly more positive caster to offset the crown that is built into roadways. You can see they screwed the pooch on that one causing your cross caster to be out of range. In terms of caster, the more positive caster you can get, the better the truck tracks on and off road. It does however make turning slightly more difficult on road. Think of it as motorcycle vs shopping cart in terms of handling. There's no excuse to have the driver's side almost on the low and and the passenger side on the high end. I like my camber equal on both sides and then get the caster on the high side with the driver's side a little more.

    What I think is really causing the looseness is the toe. With rear wheel driver vehicles you want a slight toe-in as it's the rear wheels that push the vehicle which causes the front wheels to drag. Adding a little toe in neutralizes it. You're sitting at overall positive toe out so when you throttle it's putting even more toe out which makes the truck want to wander.

    Lastly, I personally would run more negative camber, but I drive like an asshole. A little more negative will make the truck feel more planted in corners.

    Yes, caster is normally the cause of rubbing. The question is....where are you rubbing? I didn't read the last few pages so, sorry if you already mentioned that.

    Do you have LR UCA's? Regarless...in short, here's how it works.

    If you increase positive caster at the top of a spindle (aftermarket UCA's for example), you will decrease clearance to the cab as it will move the entire spindle rearward.
    If you increase positive caster at the bottom of the spindle with the alignment cams, you will increase clearance to the cab as it moves the entire spindle forward.

    Presumably based on the previously posted figures, it's your driver's side that's rubbing. Pushing the caster forward with the cam tabs should alleviate the problem. If it's not enough, cab mount chop.

    So, what does it mean when this light (not the seatbelt one) is constantly on regardless of speed?

    Happened after I got my alignment after the slick rock trip (I don't drive the truck often, so this is the first time I've noticed it)
