UCA's in Canada

Could have got the omes out of west coast offroaders in North van or camburgs from bcc

 

I searched West coast off Road's website & couldn't find a single UPC ? Maybe I should've called them instead ? ya I probably could've saved some money .. I'm not familiar with bcc, what is that? Do you know how much West Coast was asking for the ome ups's? Thank you for the info.

 

Bcc is big country customs in Abbotsford. I dont know there pricing on those arms but they are one of the biggest arb/ome shops

 

Sportsman light truck in Kamloops stocks SPC UCAs and have a good price, better than whats been quoted here so far - not the 2010 prices.
I picked up some used like new ICON delta joints from a guy on facebook marketplace out of Oregon for $280 US plus shipping so still really cheap.

 

That's the one I missed. I knew there was another good shop but couldn't find it. I bookmarked it now, appreciate your help

 

You'll be happy with SPC's, they work wonders for adjustability. They only thing I worry is durability, but I've never seen one break, just boots leak.

I'd only run SPC's personally unless it was a rock bouncing rig. Most of us buy them from Amazon here in Alberta.

 

That's a good idea too. I never tried them either. I was kinda looking for the OME ones, do you know if they carry OME as well or just SPC ?
You got a smokin' deal on yours though, well done.

 

Mevotechs are repackaged SPCs at a lower price. Photos still show the older design, but within the last couple of months they've switched to the current one-piece forged design.

Add these to cart and you'll end up around ~$740 CAD including taxes and shipping

Since Mevotech is a generic parts brand, you can also phone up your local independent parts store, give them the Mevotech P/Ns, and order locally at potentially lower prices without shipping.

 

I've heard lots of good things about the SPC's especially for alignment on the larger tire/wheel combo's but I just bought a complete lift & everything is OME so I thought I'd try out OME upc's as well. I understand they are also 100% maintenance free ? I was intrigued

 

No kidding? That's great information, I looked at a set before but they definitely weren't forged. Good to know they switched to the new design now & a guy can just order from a jobber. Thanks

 

All the other major brands (Total Chaos, JBA, Camburg, Icon, All-Pro...) are welded tubular, so that aspect isn't a weakness in Tacoma applications. The benefit of the newer design for customers is actually in the improved corrosion protection of the ball joint assembly.

 

That makes sense, I've heard of the problems with adjusting alignment after they corrode. The ball joint assembly can be replaced on those, however they seem to be sold out of them everywhere I've noticed.

 

Overland Outfitters has what you need. They are the JD Fabrications BC dealer which offers upper arms with sealed uni ball inners and Canadian made sealed EMF outer uniballs

@WormSquirts

 

They should, the only brand they don’t carry is Elka, Baja North carries lots of stuff as well.
Good luck searching!

 

Gentlemen you are awesome, thank you all for the wealth of new local resources to shop from.
I've also been looking for the total chaos bed stiffeners & can only find them on Amazon so far so I'll start checking out a few of these other places & see if any of them have any.
Cheers

 

Hey guys, Braeden here from Overland Outfitters in Surrey. Like @81Trekker said, we definitely have what you need. All we work on and stock parts for is Tacomas and 4runners. The JD Fabrication UCAs are bomb proof, with the Canadian made emf ball joints, and sealed uniballs so you get the strength without the corrosion that others get. They also make a bushing version of you prefer.

Check out our website OverlandOutfitters.ca if you want! We ship all across Canada as well, but we have a full on shop specializing in Toyotas here in Cloverdale, along with a store front.

I'm actually still working on getting the JD UCA's and long travel kits up on the site, but shoot me an email or pm if you're interested. We carry all the good stuff from sliders and armour to suspension etc!

 

I ordered JBA’s straight from their site, came to 610 cad and got hit with an extra 100 for duties. Still like 200 cheaper than Spc’s and they have a lifetime warranty (not sure if the other brands do).
As I’m sure many know, if you order anything directly from the states always request usps over* ups shipping. In fact, just never do ups lol.

We sell SPC for all the regular daily driver weekend warrior guys they are $768 a pair for most of there arms ... we also do Total chaos , Camburg , jba , icon .. if your not running LT we like a ball joint style rather than a uniball in our environment around here .. we havent found the delta joints last any longer than a typical FK uniball here, we also are a dealer for emf if you want a replacement Canadian made joint ...
