    Just curious what type of UCA people are running around the western side of the cascades.

    Suggestions/things to look out for/etc? The truck see's a lot of snow, fire roads for shuttle runs, etc. Are uni-ball type uca's fine w/ consistent maintenance?

    Thanks.

    It's lonely in this room.

    FWIW I went w dirt king ball joints. For my purposes, where and how I drive, and the ease of maintenance it was my choice.

    We shall see how they treat me.

    I've seen people running total chaos and icons around here with no issues. We don't have a bunch of mud or salt on our roads so uniballs should be fine. Did you get any discounts on the dirt king UCAs? I'm looking for some decently priced UCAs myself.

    Nice! How often are you greasing them?

    Just the uni-ball about once a month. Just got them installed a few months ago. Probably increase application when the rains arrive.... :rain:

    I have DKs as well. I could probably do better with maintenance, but I don't know a quick way to get things really clean and greased without removing tons of parts
