    I have a grease gun from harbor freight. $15 and it works just fine. I have Mobil 1 synthetic grease in it.

    When I called Toytec (authorized dealer from TC) they said any "white lithium" based grease is good....

    You use the Mobil 1 on you UCAs?

    No, on my driveshaft. Shoulda clarified that.

    Edit: I was moreso getting at that you can get a decent gun for cheaper. Plus grease is typically cheaper in person (I've found), so you could save like $10 if you wanted.

    too many lights
    In the same boat right now. Bought the leveling spacers for my front end from Headstrong and everywhere around me wants $100-$200 just to compress and install AFTER I rip the strut assembly out and bring it in. I found this video but honestly I'm terrified to even try it so I'm kind of stuck at this point.

    Well worth it to get your struts/springs pre-assembled ... or just pay someone at a local shop to do it. That's scary stuff if you mess up.

    Finally broke down and did the Chinese control knobs. They arrived today. Not sure if I will keep the 4X4 one on or not as the switch is slightly different. Anyone have any issues with that one?

    Did yours come with 4 knobs or did you just order 2 sets of 3?

    Well, just got home and got to adjusting the new lights. I didn't get a chance to do it last night. I couldn't believe what I saw...
    IMG_3113.jpg

    Dead nuts right out of the box. I didn't touch the adjustments. I figured they'd be way out of wack. I know they look a little high but the cardboard was only about 10ft away. At 25ft they look right on.
