So Camburg 1.25" Uniballs then...

 

TC doesn’t make uppers for 3gen?

 

That’s what I would do

 

Hahahaha, all good sir! I'm guessing the wife was happy that the monstrosity wasn't taking up space in the garage!!

 

Uniballs foSur.

 

Such a badass little truck! Meanwhile my 2017 with 19k miles is at the dealer already having the rear main seal replaced...

 

That is the truck that started my dream

 

That is the truck that was in my dreams last night... We did things that one does not talk about.

 

A rear main already?? Yikes! Hopefully they didn't give you any shit and are doing it under warranty.

Only problem with mine so far is assorted creaks and clacks and clunks coming from the suspension.I thought possibly the brake pads were making the clack, but even w/ brand new pads and doubling up on retention clips the noise is still there so it could just be a dry bushing on the sway or something...

But their uniballs are only 1" uniballs, can you imagine what the other kids on the playground will say?!?! CAN YOU???

In all seriousness TC is good shit (have their bed stiffeners) but so far it looks like the 'burgs are the least expensive. Unless you drop to ball joint style like JBA, that is.

If only the JBAs weren't bright red though. I called and asked about non-coated and they said no, they had previously offered it but had problems w/ people complaining about flash rust.

 

They’ve been very good about it. Apparently there’s been a few other cases of it on the third gens. Granted I brought it in when it was weeping. Oil leakage was pretty minimal and it wasn’t a full blown seal, but would rather have it taken care of ASAP and fully documented. Only warranty claim I’ve had on any Toyota product so far, so I guess I’ll consider myself lucky.

 

Go for Camburg Kinetik billet UCA’s!!!

 

I’m very happy with my TC uppers. Going to be adding lowers to match too. Both Camburg and TC are great and you won’t be disappointed

 

Entrance fee was $1300-$1400

Helmet is like $400-500
Gloves $100
Suit $300
Neckbrace is $600

All per person. Then you need air and comms, etc.

That’s before you even get into building the truck legally. Cage, legal suspension mods, etc.

 

Ok who was it o here that owns a Dutch Bros franchise?

The CFO ‍ wanted to know what it would take to start one.

 

I looked into it a few years ago, you need a min of 250 in cash and the same for a line of credit. I did not do it. Starplucks are closing stores by the thousands, the coffee boom is over, look for the next idea.

 

Is it you @phx13 ?

 

Damn ..... $449 / pair - $900 for a set of 4. Spendy.

That seems like a little much for the average 4 wheeler but they do say they are marketing them more toward the military/extreme terrain crowd. Either way if thats how people want to spend their $ then more power to them. Maybe these coming out will mean there will be a bunch of "used" regular ones coming up for sale.

 

Still a ton of snow up at Four Peaks and a little bit on the trail to lone pine th. Shitshow on the road where a 2wd jeep nearly lost it on some hard pack snow/ice solid 20+ utv and 4 taco backup before someone pulled them through the patch.
Fun day with @Coot83 @Carter'sTaco and @Tatanka_17

 

I bet the hike up Browns would be nasty right now if theres that much snow lower on the mountain. Fun drive up there for sure!

Used to go up it as a teenager in a honda CR-V. Got high centered once on a side trail and had to have the 4 people in the backseat get out. Once they were out I drove right off
