The Lair

So I'll grab the set of them UCA's for 200...might actually "fix" my leaking ball joint issue...

EDIT: Might as well get the $210 bid out there to thwart @FadedComa

 

Those have already been claimed

 

Of course!!! That's what I get for being 4 pages behind!

 

Finally got the truck leveled out in the front and the alignment fixed. I had mad taco lean so I only adjusted the drivers side. I had 8 threads showing and went up to 13-14 threads. 6 are showing on the passenger side. This brought it up damn near an inch and was nice and level.

I then maxed out caster by putting the rear cam all the way out and the front all the way in. Dunno what the number is but it’s probably close to 4°. This resulted in a little bit of negative camber (1° P/1.2° D) and the allowable range from Toyota is -0.2°. Long hair don’t care and will rock it as-is. I would rather have the clearance at the firewall and be a little out of spec

Toe took no adjustment and was surprisingly spot on at 1/8” toe in and my steering wheel is even centered.

Thought I could leave the coilovers on the truck with this tool but nope. Oh well.








My wife wasn’t around to hold the tape measure so I tried duct tape and it worked surprisingly well.

 

Excuse me sir, but shouldn't you be using soft jaws on my coilovers?

 

There's a reason these are only $800 Dave.

 

What is your return policy?

 

I must be paid before we meetup and you have to accept them blindfolded, no returns.

 

Hmmm. Better than Amazon.

 

Amazing how much clearance I gained just by maxing out caster (and lifting it up a little). I should be just fine as-is until long travel goes on there which will aid in clearance even more.

 

So much room for activities.

 

I was pleasantly surprised when I didn’t hear any rubbing while backing out of my driveway

 

Should have went 225...lol

 

You remind me that I need to hammer down the rest of my pinch weld. My off-roadies still catch the fender liner from time to time. Muy annoying.

 

I'd recommend going to 35s. After that catching the fender liner won't bother you

 

I will pass, sir. Not all of us can afford multiple vehicles. I will not be commuting 70 miles one-way on 35s. Not even sure I want to do it on 33s.

There must be a line in the sand!

 

There is. The line is at 40s.

 

That's the race-truck line.

 

Well than, i'd recommend a roll cage THEN go to 40s.

 

When do you get started??
