    Cut & broke off stuff. Prolific ziptie and tape usage.
    A few clunks I think I've figured out. Might help you.

    1) Moderate clunk/thud noticed when hitting bumps or turning abruptly. LCA bushings took care of it mostly.

    2) Light thud noticed mostly when if I go over small bump while turning. A sharp abrupt turn also causes it. I think it's just my strut topping out. Prybar doesn't show any play in ball joints. Steering rack bushings have very little flex that I wouldn't call loose.

    3) Moderate clunk/thud when braking straight. Especially if I brake sort of hard. I think the rear brakes are sticking/releasing with a mind of their own. If I roll slowly in neutral and very slowly start applying the parking brake, it just grabs suddenly. No gradual slowing. Just nothing, nothing, nothing, and then surprise rear brake lockup. And a few times the parking brake didn't release until I put the truck in gear to nudge it which makes a good pop as the drums suddenly release. That makes me wonder if the rears are doing their own thing under normal braking too. A few years ago I had a shop professionally "clean & adjust" the brakes and the thud went away for a little while. It's been coming back gradually though. At 160k miles, maybe it's time for new drums & shoes anyway.

    -edit, not talking about the parking brake sticking after it's been parked. I mean like as I stop at the mailbox when coming home from work or something. It's not the normal temperature/moisture thing that makes brakes grabby.

    Yes good. Better than a drop in HID from what I've seen. As soon as my bulbs or ballasts go out it will be LED's

    Ok then.

    I just bought a set.

    I also like their F40 bar with the spot/flood combo. Considered buying it as well. Will hold off until I see how the headlights work out.

    I got my shit figured out. It turns out that our alignment machine has bee reading my caster as negative when it was really positive for some stupid reason. So I adjusted the caster more "negative" per the machine and I actually saw the whole wheel move forward. So now I'm not rubbing the cab mount anymore... but now I have more plastic to trim :facepalm:

    I don't believe I'll be making it to this meet. Money is tight right now and getting tighter with valentines day. I'm hoping I'll be able to make it to the summer meet. Y'all better have a good ass time for me.

    Ah yes, THE OL' BACKWARDS SPECS/ADJUSTMENT.

    I remember when I ran into that topic.

    It's an older machine isin't it?

    Nice job man. For reals. From what I've seen of the LR UCAs on a 1st gen, they look pretty legit.

    I only have about an inch to trim off the very bottom of the left front flair. Remember though, i'm at 2.5" not 3 yet. And it only happens in reverse when turning.

    Yeah. I'm not sure how old though. I've been there for 4 1/2 years, and back then the alignment rack looked like it does now.... no or very little paint left on some parts of the plates.

    Haha exactly. Just driving there and back is gonna be 6 hours from school or 10 hours from Chattanooga. I go through a tank on average every 4 hours. (Driving back and forth to school) that would be $70 in gas and ~$100 in food. And then whatever camping fees are. Also, I'll have to fix my truck next week and see how that goes. Who knows what I'll tear up on the jeep with all of this snow coming in the next few days hahaha.

    Then don't bring your truck or jeep and go bitch. I did in November and still had fun. Zack is coming through there Friday and I highly doubt he'd mind picking you up. And myself, zack, and kurt are coming through Sunday day we could drop you back off. Then you just need camp money and food money
