    Went and got my alignment handled today. This is my 3rd alignment since I've had the truck (in only 1 year). The first was after I put the spacers on and they couldn't get it aligned but I just dealt with it. Then I swapped the spacers for the Billy's and got another and it was better but still not great. Finally today, I had a breakthrough. The new UCAs did wonders for allowing them to get exactly what I wanted. Their printer was broken so they couldn't print me the stats but I went back and got pics of the numbers before and after.

    That's before any adjustments and the computer is set to factory, and it's actually almost good to go according to that.

    I explained to the tech the changes from my lift and suspension components and he went to work. He actually changed the computer settings so it would read all green if he got it right.

    And after

    image.jpg

    I told him to bring the caster up to 2.5-3 and keep camber and toe at or around 0. I think he did a pretty good job. He didn't think it was going to be aligned and wanted to test drive it. Came back and gave me the thumbs up.:thumbsup:

    Funny how the passenger side caster is higher and the camber is lower, wonder why he couldn't get the driver side any closer. honestly he didn't need to change the computer settings to make it go green. 0* Camber, 2.8 Caster, and 0 Toe are within factory specs, or at least the Green range on the computer. It's always nice when you find someone willing to work with you and then go test drive it before saying it's all good. I Fucking hate "toe and go" alignment techs..

    Yeah this guy was cool. Wish I would've gotten him the first 2 times. But then again, I didn't have the arms then. Spent $160 on 2 extra alignments bc I was too cheap to buy arms. Got a great deal on arms but broke even if I had just bought them in the first place and avoided needing 3 alignments. :annoyed:

    Went out to the Grayson Highlands this weekend and finally got the Taco off-road to get up the mountain. She got pretty dirty but it rained hard before I could get pics of the mud :annoyed:

    Now I've got the itch for a Uwarrie trip. :mudding:

    Thanks to a little old lady up the street who doesn’t know how to use her back-up cam and Geico, I was finally able to add some armor :D

    Shoutout to @Red Baron @Sandman614 @tacopaulo and @Taco_life for all the help with the install :sawzall:
