    I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it man, having border patrol fly through there isn't the best. Last time I went there, I had to back up kinda far, and the dude was like right on my front bumper but appreciated that I moved for him. I know San Jacinto ridge truck trail doesn't have as many switchbacks, you should look up on YouTube "SoCal offroad trails to get some ideas. I would have joined this weekend if I knew you were going, and my windshield wasn't currently spiderwebbed from a huge crack. Luckily its getting fixed on Thursday.

    IMG_4978.jpg A PSA for anyone considering those China UCAs, don’t do it.
    I was installing the 2nd set ever last night and the ball joint snapped in half and I was using hand tools when it blew apart.
    Luckily this happened during install rather than while driving. This can certainly cause a serious issue if not someone getting killed.

    So spend a few more bucks and get something safer guys!!

    It was more of an impromptu thing . Otherwise I'd have Posted something here. It definitely would have been more fun with people who knew where they were going I definitely want to go out with you and sage63 to the desert before I leave.

    That explains your text message I was trying to decipher it. I've got the JBA ball joints on order, and I'll be gone all weekend, so I'll swap them out when I get back.

    I'm probably going to swing by the auto hobby shop on base and take care of it. I got some other stuff to install too.

    I did the math and swapping to that clip was 4 inches. Not 3 inches. I hate suspension math. I kinda like it though. But it's too rough. The wife would bitch the ENTIRE way back to Maine

    Anyone have any experience welding in cab mount relocation brackets? I can provide beer and cash. I'm in 92120 not far from SDSU.

    Does any one know where I can get a new cab mount bracket welded on to my 2nd gen in San Diego? Mine is rusted out. I’m going to buy the pre fab from rust busters. Need it welded on.Thanks!
